The football quarterback Drew Allar recently found himself in the spotlight after a picture of him partying on a yacht went viral hours before a game. However, the speculation was false, as the person thought to be him was someone else.
On January 09, 2025, rumors started circulating on the internet that Drew Allar was partying on a yacht just hours before the game between the Penn State Nittany Lions and Notre Dame.
The rumors started when a user from X shared a picture on the platform that looked like Drew was partying.

Additionally, the 20-year-old did not address the speculation, making it difficult to understand whether the rumors were true.
However, it was later revealed that the person in question was not Drew Allar but Beau Pribula, his former teammate.
