Can't verify but saw a random article that said he's engaged to his girlfriend who is expecting a child. Just out of curiosity...

1) Would ND be ok with that if he were at ND?

2) Has ND ever had a father or soon to be father playing football before?

And for my own two cents...he's getting engaged about ten years too young. The male brain doesn't fully function until at least 30, and he hasn't made enough mistakes yet.

I believe Eli Raridon was born while his dad was blocking for Brady Quinn.

IIRC, Drue Tranquill's wife? (maybe fiancee at the time) was pregnant with his first child in 2018, when he was still at ND.

Definitely. They usually don't make a big to-do of it, and I can't remember names aside from Tranquil, but there have certainly been players with kids, often back home wherever they come from. I believe it has been the cause of a few outbound transfers over the years.

Don't really care about his personal life.

I don't think he's that good and have not lost a lick of sleep that he was offered late and signed somewhere else.

So was Beau Pribula 110% sure Allar is returning next year?

NFL folks are gonna love that second TD throw

Every time he threw a ball further than 10 yds, it felt like that ball hung in the air for 30 seconds.

He played really well early, not as good under pressure but I thought some of the 2Q - 3Q misses were on the WRs. He was putting balls into tight windows and no one makes plays outside Warren.

He seemed surprised by the pressure, had better presence versus OSU but he’s so darn scared to throw a INT

His measurables make him intriguing. He's what, 6-5/240?

I think he's shown improvement from last year to this year. The intermediate passing game still needs work and he's definitely not a guy who is going to beat you with his legs. Mechanics, pre snap reads and decision making need a lot of time in the NFL. If he gets into what is now a typical Green Bay situation where he can sit behind "the guy" for a few years and develop, that's got to be the best case scenario. Highly doubtful he jumps right into a Stroud or Daniels type of season.

In my opinion, it was easily the best game I’ve ever seen him play considering the magnitude.

Whereas Milroe lost himself some coin yesterday, Allar potentially raised his value significantly.

The Josh Allen comps are over valuing him as a player. They're very similar in college with Allen being more mobile. However Allen is a unicorn that somehow improved his accuracy and game in the NFL instead of being exposed.
I see why NFL fans are intrigued, but I'd stay away and draft Klubnik in 26.

I just looked at the stats. He was barely over 50% for 171 yards. How does that raise his draft grade? On at least 2 of the 3 TD passes (didn’t see the other) his guys were wide open or ran in a short pass.
