As the College Football Playoff continues, focus has turned to the players’ personal lives.
Interest has especially been picking up about Penn State quarterback Drew Allar, who many feel may be a starting QB in the NFL next year.
Allar’s personal life is interesting, as he has been involved with his girlfriend, Emma Bush, since 2019.
Who Is Emma Bush?
According to Us Magazine, the pair met at Medina High School in Medina, Ohio, and have been together since.
What makes this pairing interesting is although Allar is the starting QB for Penn State, Bush is a student at Big Ten rival Ohio State.
The pair has been very public with their relationship on social media, which is rare in this day and age when most athletes try to keep their relationships and whom they are seeing private. But not this couple, at least not right now.
They don’t seem to mind sharing their affection with one another with fans online.

Despite being a Buckeye, there are pictures of Bush dressed in her boyfriend’s Penn State jersey just before a game, supporting her boyfriend.
She traveled to State College on Dec. 21 to see Allar and Penn State defeat SMU in the first round of the College Football Playoff.
“Weekend recap!!!” Bush captioned in an Instagram post, which also saw the pair travel to Cleveland to sit courtside at a Cavaliers game.
Allar commented on the post with three red-heart emojis.
In 2022, the couple celebrated three years together, and in 2024, they will celebrate five years together.
Other Football Couples
Recently, several other athletes announced their engagements, including Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith. He not only announced his engagement to his girlfriend but also announced that he is expecting a second child with her later this year.
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. announced his recent engagement to his girlfriend right around Christmas. They have been together for over a year and announced their engagement via social media, too.
This generation of athletes is becoming more open about who they are dating than athletes from the past who kept their relationships quiet. This generation of athletes has no problem sharing their love life online.
