Drew Allar Sends 6-Word Message to Girlfriend Quoting Late American Legend After PSU Culture Stance Confirmed

Drew Allar has recently taken Penn State on an incredible journey filled with significant victories, high expectations, and a touch of heartbreak. As a former five-star prospect, Allar led the Nittany Lions to the semifinals of the College Football Playoff this past season. However, they faced a devastating last-second loss to Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl, where Allar threw a late interception that left him in tears and had the entire fanbase wondering what might have been. This offseason, all eyes are on Allar as fans anticipate his next big leap. Head coach James Franklin has laid out a plan to improve Allar’s mobility, leadership skills, completion percentage, and crucially, his touchdown-to-interception ratio.

You can’t speak of Drew Allar’s path without speaking of Emma Bush, Allar’s sweetheart since high school. The two have been together since 2019, when they were just kids at Medina High in Ohio, going to homecoming and prom as each other’s dates. Flash forward, and now Emma’s at Ohio State (yeah, that Ohio State), in pre-law and strategic communications, while Drew’s handling business at Penn State. Long distance? No issue. Emma’s essentially Penn State’s unofficial hype woman, driving the 325 miles to Beaver Stadium and attending every major game, from the Fiesta Bowl to the Orange Bowl.

Their romance is everywhere on Instagram: anniversary montages, cute comments, and game-day hugs. Talking about comments, Drew Allar’s new Instagram post, captioned “More Life🙏🏼,” is oozing big vibes of growth and patience. The post is of Drew lounging with his teammates, beaming, soaking in the offseason vibes, most likely after a huge spring workout or possibly just a well-deserved break. The comments are going crazy with love from Penn State fans, teammates, and, naturally, Emma Bush dropping a “That’s Life” comment.

Now, Drew couldn’t help but shoot back with “that’s what all the people say,” straight-up Frank Sinatra vibes. It’s genuinely peak couple energy: playful, inside-jokey, and a little bit ironic. You know that these two have their language, exchanging lyrics and trash talk back and forth for all to witness.

Why does Penn State feel like home?

Following on from that lighthearted Insta exchange, if you want to know why Drew Allar loves Penn State so much, you just have to hear him discuss the culture; it’s as if he is explaining the ideal college football family. For Allar, Penn State is not only somewhere to play ball; it’s the greatest place in the nation for an athlete to develop, on and off the field. He’s always yelling out Coach James Franklin, giving credit to him for creating a culture that’s not only coach-driven but player-driven from the ground up.

As opposed to merely pursuing talent, Franklin and his coaches target guys who believe in the program’s principles, which is why you don’t find a wholesale migration to the transfer portal each offseason. Look at the roster: stars like Nicholas Singleton, Kaytron Allen, Zakee Wheatley, Dani Dennis-Sutton, and Zane Durant all could have jumped ship for larger NIL contracts or more playing time elsewhere but opted to remain in blue and white for another go. Even when the portal opens and there is chaos in other programs, Penn State maintains its in-house drama and its core guys in place, all due to that sense of brotherhood and respect for one another that Franklin has established.

Allar’s love of Penn State extends far beyond the mere victor spirit or highlight reel. It’s about the actual culture, close-knit brotherhood that Coach Franklin and the players have established. That atmosphere is what keeps guys like Allar, Emma Bush, and the entire team around, even when the transfer portal is exploding everywhere else.
