Penn State quarterback Drew Allar informed the team that he plans to return for his senior season in 2025.

ESPN's Pete Thamel first reported the news.

Allar has spent all three years of his college career with the Nittany Lions, helping them reach the College Football Playoff with a record of 11-2 this season.

His return gives Penn State some stability at quarterback moving forward, especially after sophomore signal-caller Beau Pribula announced his decision to enter the transfer portal on Sunday.

Allar confirmed his decision to remain in Happy Valley in a statement posted on X.

"I know there's still more work to do which is why I look forward to making more memories with my teammates this year and beyond," Allar wrote.

Pribula may have been aware of the incumbent starter's intention to return next season, which could have played a role in his decision to transfer.

Allar joined Penn State as a 5-star recruit and became a full-time starter in 2023, putting together an impressive year. That season, he completed 59.9 percent of his throws for 2,631 yards and a conference-leading 25 touchdowns compared to a mere two interceptions.

While he's been picked off seven times in 13 starts during his 2024 campaign, he's showcased improved accuracy while averaging 12.9 yards per completion. Allar has also connected on 69.1 percent of his passes for 2,894 yards.

He's continued to make progress down the stretch of the season, throwing for 1,108 yards and nine touchdowns to go along with two interceptions over his previous five appearances.

With his future on the Nittany Lions secured, Allar will now turn his attention towards a CFP matchup with SMU. The Mustangs weren't able to earn an ACC title, but they're still in the playoff with an impressive 11-2 record of their own.

Allar will attempt to remain effective against the ACC's No. 1 scoring defense in the upcoming matchup between the two teams on Saturday at 12 p.m. ET.
