Starting quarterback Drew Allar decided to remain at Penn State, bringing his impressive career stats with him, after evaluating his NFL prospects. Standout defensive tackle Zane Durant will also return, opting to forgo the NFL draft and continue anchoring the defensive line, which is crucial due to the team's depth challenges at his position.
