Drew Allar Says Ankle Recovery on Track, Shifts to 2026 NFL Draft

With a medical redshirt off the table, the Penn State quarterback is moving into pre-draft preparations.

Overview

  • Nearly six weeks after surgery for a broken left ankle, Allar told ESPN he is in a “full recovery” and ahead of schedule.
  • He sustained the injury on a fourth-quarter scramble against Northwestern, which ended his 2025 season.
  • He explored a medical redshirt but was deemed ineligible because he had played too many games this season.
  • He hopes to throw for NFL evaluators at the scouting combine or at Penn State’s pro day, with the exact timing still to be determined.
  • He leaves Penn State as the program’s career leader in completion percentage and top four in touchdown passes and passing yards, and the school fired James Franklin the day after his injury.
