Penn State football quarterback Drew Allar has been named to the Davey O’Brien Award watch list, which annually recognizes the nation’s best signal caller.

Allar was also named to the Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Player of the Year Award watch lists earlier this offseason. The senior gunslinger was a semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien Award last season. Allar tabbed 3,327 yards and 24 touchdowns in 2024 and is widely expected to be among the top quarterbacks in the country in 2025 with an improved receiving core.

The 2025 Davey O’Brien quarterback class will be announced on October 28, semifinalists will be named on November 12, and finalists on November 25. The winner will be announced live on ESPN on December 11.
