Coming out of high school, Allar was ranked among the top quarterback prospects in the 2022 class, coming in as the No. 5 overall Pro-Style Quarterback per Rivals and also was named as one of the top 11 quarterbacks at the Elite 11 Finals.
Behind Allar on the depth chart is redshirt-freshman QB Beau Pribula who will serve as his main backup and then behind him is true freshman Jaxon Smolik who enrolled earlier this year.
How will Allar perform this season? Only time will tell, but with a very talented group of offensive players surrounding him and OC Mike Yurcich running the show, he has a chance to be next level good.
