The Penn State Nittany Lions' season has gone completely off the rails thanks to a three-game losing streak that resulted in James Franklin's firing plus Drew Allar being knocked out for the remainder of the year due to an ankle injury.

Now, Allar's Penn State career has come to an end, as the senior isn't even eligible to apply for a medical redshirt. So it's on to the NFL Draft for the quarterback.

On that note, Allar underwent successful surgery on his broken left ankle Wednesday and is on track for a full recovery, via Pete Thamel of ESPN.

It wasn't even easy season for Allar even before the injury. Going into the year, the youngster was viewed as a potential top pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, but he threw for just 1,100 yards, eight touchdowns and three interceptions while completing 64.8 percent of his passes in six games.

Now, the jury is largely out on Allar, who may no longer be a first-round draft pick thanks to a very disappointing 2025 showing. The injury doesn't help his case, either.

Allar had been compared by some to Buffalo Bills superstar Josh Allen thanks to his size and mobility. Allar stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 236 pounds but possesses impressive athleticism, as evidenced by the fact that he rushed for 172 yards on 4.8 yards per carry this year.

It should also be noted that Allen himself did not post great numbers at Wyoming but was still selected sixth overall in the 2018 NFL Draft thanks to a terrific Scouting Combine, so perhaps Allar still has a chance to fly off the board on Day 1 next April.

But there is no question that the 21-year-old did not do himself any favors with his performance this season, and at this point, he probably would have been better off declaring for the draft last year when they quarterback class was incredibly weak.

Allar arrived at Happy Valley in 2022 and became a full-time starter during his sophomore campaign when he led the Big Ten with 25 touchdown passes, throwing just two interceptions. He then totaled 3,327 yards, 24 touchdowns and eight picks while completing 66.5 percent of his passes in 2024, adding 302 yards on six scores on the ground.

We'll see how Allar's draft status looks six months from now, but at the current point in time, there is no doubt that his stock has taken a hit.
