The highest-rated quarterback recruit from the state of Pennsylvania in the last 15 years will square off against the highest-rated quarterback recruit from the state of Ohio in the modern recruiting era when Ohio State plays Penn State on Saturday.
They just aren’t playing for the teams you’d expect.
Drew Allar, a five-star recruit from Medina, Ohio, is in his first year as Penn State’s starting quarterback. Kyle McCord, Ohio State’s first-year starting quarterback, grew up in Mount Laurel, New Jersey, but played his high school football in Pennsylvania at St. Joseph’s Preparatory School in Philadelphia, where he too became a five-star recruit.
