Penn State football is set soon for a new era ushered in by the high-profile hiring of new head coach Matt Campbell from Iowa State.
It isn't just the new boss; throughout the Nittany Lions roster, there are a plethora of starters graduating. With a new head coach, returning players may also start exiting once the Transfer Portal opens. Penn State will truly have a fresh start in 2026.
One of those openings lies under center. Starting quarterback Drew Allar broke his ankle against Northwestern and was ruled out indefinitely, not returning to the field in 2025.
