Where will Drew Allar be drafted? What scouting reports say about 2026 NFL Draft chances

Heading into the 2025 college football season, Drew Allar was one of the many quarterbacks in the dicussion for the first round of the 2026 NFL draft. Allar's season ended abruptly as he suffered a broken ankle in his sixth game of the year, however, and his draft projection became a bit of an unknown because of it. The senior quarterback came back to Penn State in hopes of competing for a National Championship, but his injury ended the Nittany Lions chances of making a deep postseason run.

These days, Allar is one of many quarterbacks vying for the right to get drafted in the middle of the draft, as there isn't a consensus quarterback ranking behind Fernando Mendoza. While Allar's health will play a role in where he goes, his talent is arguably worth a chance for some quarterback-needy teams. Here's a look at where draft analysts think Allar will go in the draft.

Allar suffered a season-ending injury in October, which will certainly impact where he goes during the NFL draft. Not only did Allar not have the opportunity to prove his value at the end of the year, teams now have to account for his recovery from surgery on a broken left ankle. When healthy, Allar was a productive player for the Nittany Lions.
