Virginia starting linebacker Kam Robinson will miss the rest of the season after tearing his ACL against Duke earlier this month. Coach Tony Elliott made the announcement Tuesday at his weekly news conference. Virginia, ranked 17 in the College Football Playoff rankings, plays Virginia Tech on Saturday, and a win gets the Cavaliers into the ACC championship game. Robinson emerged as the best player on the Virginia defense despite missing the first three games of the season with a collarbone injury. He h as two interception returns for touchdowns - including one to seal a win at Cal - and his game-winning safety with the score tied and three minutes left against Washington State helped Virginia win 22-20. Though he played in only eight games this season, Robinson is second on the team with 64 tackles. Expect Landon Danley to start in his place. - ESPN College Football

Penn State quarterback Drew Allar, who is nearly six weeks out from having season-ending surgery on his broken left ankle, told ESPN he's amid a "full recovery" and gearing up for the NFL predraft process. Allar entered the season as one of the country's most promising quarterbacks, as he had flirted with going to the NFL after leading Penn State to the semifinals of last season's College Football Playoff. His 2025 season ended abruptly, breaking his left ankle on a scramble in the fourth quarter in a l oss to Northwestern. Allar's season was immediately over, and Penn State fired James Franklin the following day. As he moves on to declare for the NFL draft in the upcoming weeks, Allar said he's ahead of schedule on his recovery and confident he'll retu rn to full health. "I'm going to be a better version of myself out of this," he said. "The doctors said it's going to be stronger than before because of the type of surgery they did. It won't prohibit me from anything in the future or need to get it redo ne. A lot of guys have done it and come back. "I'll be able to make a full recovery and not have anything to think about when I come back." Allar said he's unsure about the specifics of his timeline to come back to the field to showcase himself for NFL t eams.He said he hopes to throw for scouts and teams in some capacity at either the NFL scouting combine or a pro day after that date. Quarterbacks rarely do drills and testing at the combine. Allar told ESPN that he briefly explored opportunities to secure an extra year via medical redshirt, but those were short conversations as he played too many games. There didn't appear to be any redshirt options available from a medical standpoint, nor was there a possibility of the NCAA passing new legislat ion that allows all players to play five seasons. Allar said he quickly shifted his focus forward. "I've played a lot of high-level football," he said. "I have a lot of film to speak for myself. The best option for me is to move on to the next level." - ESPN College Football
