Allar put on a show at the Elite 11 regional camp in Indianapolis in early May, helping him to secure an invite to the finals. Allar tied for first place at the Indianapolis regional with CJ Carr (Saline, MI) and Luther Richesson (Nashville, TN).
Excellent group of signal callers Sunday at the Indianapolis #Elite11 regional & academy – they worked and competed all day long! Here are the top results from the nine-throw Pro Day station, with each throw scored 0-3 đđŻ pic.twitter.com/ji25UownbW

A handful of former Penn State quarterbacks attended the Elite 11 event dating back to its origin in 1999. That list includes Anthony Morelli, Pat Devlin, Rob Bolden, Christian Hackenberg, Sean Clifford, and Christian Veilleux. This year’s Elite 11 Finals will be held in Los Angles from June 30-July 3.
For Allar, it’s just another major opportunity to compete against the nation’s best before his arrival at Penn State. In May, Allar accepted an invitation to play in the 2022 Adidas All-American Bowl. Allar commited to Penn State on March 8.
Allar is schedueld to make an official visit to Penn State later this month.
