Who will be Penn State's starting QB next season?

ALTOONA, Pa. -- What will Sean Clifford decide to do? And Drew Allar? And James Franklin -- or whoever is coaching Penn State -- with regards to the transfer portal?

We've been getting a bunch of questions and comments over the past two weeks about Clifford's future and the future of the Penn State quarterback position. It's all fascinating on many levels, because there are a bunch of factors that could determine how everything plays out.

Here are the candidates to be the Nittany Lions' starter next year:

  • Sean Clifford
  • Ta'Quan Roberson
  • Christian Veilleux
  • Drew Allar
  • Transfer portal guy

So much of this discussion hinges on what Clifford decides -- whether to return for one more season or to try his luck turning pro.
