Pat Kraft sounded like he was giving a pep talk to the team not a presser.

Pat Kraft breaking down talking about Drew Allar’s PSU career.

No head coach, no coordinator, no recruit means more to Penn State than having Kraft run this program.

This man is special. #WeAre blessed🙏

Pat Kraft is a class act. Penn State has the right man in charge — for more than this emotional answer. https://t.co/q5epwEeNhI

Pat Kraft is so locked in on creating the best football program in America. I've genuinely never seen anyone with more ambition to get a job done in my life and i am so here for it.

Look let’s be honest. Every single commitment for 2026 has reopened their recruitment and that’s what’s best for them. Totally understandable. After listening to Pat Kraft and Terry Smith I am completely confident that no matter what Penn State will have the players needed to win

Pat Kraft is gonna hit a home run. This dude gets it and I’m very happy he’s the AD.

Say what you want about pat kraft but talking about drew allar alone shows you how much he gives a shit about this program. I get it we loved Franklin but he couldn't get to the peak where we want to see these kids. Pats determined to get that 💙🤍 #WeAre
