He dreamed of playing Penn State football. Why is Beau Pribula leaving now?
The quarterback who dreamed of playing Penn State football as a kid appears to be leaving the program after three years.
Former Central York star Beau Pribula − one of the greatest high school athletes ever from York and Adams counties − plans to enter the NCAA transfer portal, he announced on social media.
Penn State’s popular backup QB made it known that he’s leaving the Nittany Lions’ ahead of their first-ever College Football Playoff game Saturday against SMU in Beaver Stadium (noon, TNT).
Pribula could have been eyeing a third-straight season of backup work in 2025 if starter Drew Allar returns for his senior season
Wearing the blue & white these last 3 years has brought me some of the greatest moments of my life,” he wrote on a Sunday evening post on X. “The current NCAA post-season model creates a challenge for student-athletes. The overlapping CFB playoff & transfer portal timeline has forced me into an impossible decision.
“After speaking at length with my family and coaches, it is with a heavy heart that I announced my intentions to enter the transfer portal and depart from the team to explore opportunities elsewhere.”
Pribula’s name was removed from Penn State online roster by Sunday evening.
