Beau Pribula

Scouting Report

Beau Pribula is a dual-threat quarterback who enrolled at Penn State in January 2022 and spent two seasons as the backup behind Drew Allar, filling the change-of-pace running quarterback role that Will Levis had previously occupied for the Nittany Lions. He transferred to Missouri for the 2025 season and finally got his opportunity as a full-time starter, quickly drawing NFL attention. Through the first three weeks of the 2025 season, Pribula ranked fourth in the FBS in overall grade, completing 76.4% of his passes with a 7/1 TD/INT ratio, including a career-high 334-yard, three-touchdown performance against Kansas that earned a 91.9 passing grade and Quarterback of the Week recognition nationally and in the SEC. He had transitioned from primarily a rushing threat at Penn State into a capable pocket passer, recording three big-time throws with a 127.5 passer rating against the Jayhawks. Pribula led Missouri to a 5-0 start and a rise to No. 14 in the AP Top 25 before a dislocated left ankle cost him significant time; he displayed toughness by returning in less than a month to start the Tigers' final two regular-season games. He finished the season with 1,941 passing yards on 67% completion, 297 rushing yards, and 17 total touchdowns with nine interceptions, ranking 10th in the SEC in QBR at 66.7. Scouts describe him as having good size and athleticism, a strong arm, and good improvisational ability, while noting he was most accurate and effective in the short passing game and needs to improve decision-making and proficiency in the intermediate and deep passing game. Film study grades Pribula in the mid-tier of the class, citing excellent play-fake discipline, strong sideline ball placement that protects receivers, and comfort throwing back-shoulder routes, while flagging that he is patient to a fault and late on throws once reads are defined. After entering the transfer portal in December 2025, he committed to Virginia on January 12, 2026, where coach Tony Elliott pl
