Penn State QB Rocco Becht receives late Day 3 draft grade from ESPN

Rocco Becht, the new quarterback for Penn State, has received a late Day 3 draft grade from ESPN, ranking him as a sixth-round pick. This evaluation comes as the Nittany Lions transition into the 2026 college football season following significant changes, including the departure of head coach James Franklin and former quarterback Drew Allar. Becht, who transferred from Iowa State, is projected to face competition from several other quarterbacks in the NCAA. ESPN's Jordan Reid listed Becht among 15 quarterbacks, who are seen as having varying potential for the upcoming NFL draft. For Becht to improve his draft stock, he needs to deliver an impressive performance during the season, potentially surpassing previous benchmarks set by Allar.
