Penn State in the running for elite 2025 four-star wide receiver
It’s been a roller coaster for Penn State in the class of 2025. Full of high-profile commitments, some decommitments, and the state’s best players going elsewhere, this has been a cycle that’s been anything but usual in the past few years under James Franklin. Perhaps nothing has been more emblematic of the up-and-down nature of this class than the wide receiver position. Knowing that the Nittany Lions needed to land a group that was full of high-profile players following the disappointing output that took place last season, it hasn’t exactly worked out that way. Still, there are three wide receiver commitments in the 2025...

Penn State Football: Say Goodbye to the Emotional Post-Game Drew Allar
You certainly remember Penn State’s disheartening 20-12 loss to Ohio State in The Horseshoe last year. So does Nittany Lion QB1 Drew Allar, who was 18 of 42 for 191 yards and had seven carries for minus 23 yards. Not pretty. Neither was Allar’s post-game interview where he shed some tears and less than a minute into it, Allar confessed that, “I sucked.” (Watch Mark Brennan’s video replay here.) That interview was not received very well by some of his teammates, as well as lettermen who had been led by the likes of hard-edged, take-no-prisoner quarterbacks like Trace, McGloin, MRob and Collins. Granted, Allar...
