Girlfriend Of Penn State QB Drew Allar Turns Heads During 2026 NFL Draft
His path to the NFL hasn't been easy, but Penn State quarterback Drew Allar is ready to prove his doubters wrong.
Around this time a year ago, Allar was considered a very appealing prospect. To be fair, he just led Penn State to the College Football Playoff semifinals as a junior, completing 66.5% of his passes for 3,327 yards with 24 touchdowns and eight interceptions.
Unfortunately, Allar's 2025 season with the Nittany Lions was cut short in October by a season-ending ankle injury. Although it may have derailed his draft stock, it didn't break his spirit.
"I'm going to be a better version of myself out of this," Allar said. "The doctors said it's going to be stronger than before because of the type of surgery they did. It won't prohibit me from anything in the future or need to get it redone. A lot of guys have done it and come back. I'll be able to make a full recovery and not have anything to think about when I come back."
It certainly helps that Allar has a Day 1 supporter by his side. He's been dating Emma Bush since at least 2019.
Allar and Bush both attended Medina High School in Ohio. Although she didn't follow him to Penn State, their connection only grew stronger in college.
Bush, who studied at Ohio State, cheered for Penn State during the school's playoff run in 2024. In fact, photos of her at the Fiesta Bowl went viral.
It wouldn't shock us if Bush turns heads during this year's telecast of the NFL Draft.
Heading to the Steel City.
On Friday night, the Pittsburgh Steelers used the 76th overall pick on Allar. It's unclear if he'll get to learn from Aaron Rodgers this summer. Nonetheless, ESPN's Matt Miller warned Pittsburgh fans that Allar is far from a finished product.
"He is a big pocket passer with the anticipation, release and arm strength to throw into tight windows over the middle. Allar drives the ball on seam routes and hole shots on the outside. He is an experienced starter who can get through his progressions," Miller wrote. "Allar is not a big-play threat that teams will be keen on executing designed quarterback runs with, but he scrambles for first downs and avoids negative plays with his legs. He was plagued by poor to average performances against top teams, holding a 1-7 record against AP top-10 opponents in college. In these marquee matchups, Allar had low completion percentages (around 48% to 50%), as well as key turnovers in losses against top-six opponents."
Time will tell if Allar reaches his full potential as a pro.
