Penn State starting QB 2024: Who will start for James Franklin's team in Week 11?

The No. 6 ranked Penn State Nittany Lions suffered their first loss of the 2024 college football season in Week 10 against the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Nittany Lions put up a good fight but were ultimately defeated by a defensively resolute Buckeyes team.

Ahead of the Nittany Lions' Week 11 game against the Washington Huskies, let's take a look at their potential starting quarterback and the rest of the team's QB depth chart.

Penn State's starting QB against the Washington Huskies in Week 11

Drew Allar has started all eight of the Penn State Nittany Lions games this season. The junior quarterback is having an impressive season and is a major reason for their stellar offense.

In his first season as a starter, Allar has amassed 1,786 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, and five interceptions. He has also added 160 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns for good measure.

Barring any unfortunate occurrences, Drew Allar will start at quarterback for the Nittany Lions against the Huskies. James Franklin's side is looking to return to winning ways, and what better way than with the quarterback who led them to seven consecutive wins to start the 2024 season?

Penn State Nittany Lions' QB depth chart

Drew Allar isn't the only talented quarterback on the Nittany Lions' depth chart. Beau Pribula and Ethan Grunkemeyer backup Allar.

Beau Pribula has already contributed to a major Penn State win this season. The Nittany Lions QB2 was called off the bench in the fourth quarter against the Wisconsin Badgers. He then proceeded to lead his side to a come-from-behind victory over their opponents.

Ethan Grunkemeyer is a freshman QB on the squad. He's currently listed as the QB3 on the depth chart and is viewed as the shotcaller of the future for Franklin's side. Grunkemeyer was phenomenal in high school and should enjoy a long and productive career with Penn State when given the chance to contribute as a starter.
