Overview

  • ESPN’s latest Power Four quarterback rankings placed Allar 55th, according to The Sporting News, following the double-overtime defeat to Oregon.
  • Mel Kiper Jr. said Allar is “not there yet” for the NFL and that, for now, his draft arrow is pointing down.
  • NFL evaluators quoted by The Athletic described him as talented but inconsistent, with one Big Ten assistant noting routine misses alongside “oh my God” throws.
  • Against Oregon, Allar went 14-of-25 for 137 yards with two touchdowns, and his interception in double overtime ended the game.
  • On3’s updated estimate reportedly lowered his NIL valuation from $2.8 million to $2.2 million, as Joel Klatt urges offensive adjustments and fans direct frustration at James Franklin ahead of the UCLA game.
