Overview

• Head coach James Franklin said after the Northwestern loss that Allar sustained a season-ending lower-leg injury.
• Penn State dismissed Franklin the next day, with reporting linking Allar’s stalled development to the move and noting a buyout near $60 million.
• The program has not disclosed the specific injury or recovery timetable, leaving Allar’s pre-draft participation uncertain.
• NFL teams, including the Steelers, scouted Allar multiple times this season alongside evaluations of Arch Manning and John Mateer.
• Having already played six games, Allar is unlikely to qualify for a medical redshirt under NCAA rules, making combine or offseason workouts pivotal to counter a sliding draft stock.
