Becht’s Draft Stock and Penn State’s QB Future | Penn State Nittany Lions Football News

Penn State’s football future hinges on Rocco Becht, the new quarterback who transferred alongside head coach Matt Campbell. Once projected as a late third-round pick—around sixth overall—Becht trails behind top prospects like DJ Lagway and sits roughly 18th to 22nd in ESPN’s NFL Draft rankings. While his ceiling is high, especially if he delivers a breakout senior season with over 3,500 yards, 25+ touchdowns, a 63% completion rate, and 8+ rushing TDs, his current draft stock reflects the uncertainty of his transition. Unlike former star Drew Allar, whose stock plummeted after a disappointing 2025, Becht has the chance to rewrite his narrative—and potentially elevate Penn State’s national profile—in 2026.
