Penn State quarterback Beau Pribula lands Tesla in new NIL deal
Penn State football’s partnership with Inch&Co., a York, Pa., based building company, continues to bear fruit. Announced via Instagram, redshirt freshman Beau Pribula is the latest Nittany Lion to benefit, partnering to represent the company in a new NIL package.
And Pribula will be riding around in a Tesla as a result.
Pribula joins four other Penn State players who have partnered for one-year partnerships. Those players include quarterback Drew Allar, linebacker Abdul Carter, cornerback Kalen King, and offensive tackle Olu Fashanu.
The latest deal is particularly synergistic for Inch&Co., as detailed by the organization’s CFO, John Inch Jr., in the partnership’s reveal.
“(Beau Pribula) is making York county proud and we can’t wait to cheer him on this year at Penn State! He has passion for his community and commitment to put in the work it takes to compete at the highest level,” Inch wrote in an Instagram post.
Beau Pribula’s first year at Penn State
In his first year at Penn State, Pribula turned heads as the Nittany Lions’ fourth-string quarterback. Learning and competing with fellow early enrollee Drew Allar last spring, Pribula was frequently cited for his fierce approach to the game and development within the program.
By the middle of preseason camp, Pribula then settled into his role as the Nittany Lions’ scout team signal-caller while redshirting.
That experience was among many that Pribula highlighted in a first season with Penn State that he was pleased by.
“It’s been great. I got here almost a year ago and it doesn’t feel like it at all. It’s like I just got here,” Pribula told BWI leading into the Rose Bowl. “But the experiences I’ve been able to experience and being in our quarterback room, it’s been a great quarterback room. And I’m just glad I’ve been able to experience this and finish it off with a Rose Bowl.”
Next steps
Though Pribula wouldn’t appear in any game action this season, fourth on the depth chart behind starter Sean Clifford, backup Allar, and third-string Christian Veilleux, he enters Penn State’s spring practices as the de facto No. 2 on the roster at the quarterback position.
And in the eyes of Penn State offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich, Pribula’s presence is of benefit not just to Allar but also to the entirety of the program.
“He pushes everyone. That dude’s a feisty guy and very, very competitive. He plays with a chip. He’s got a lot of confidence in himself,” Yurcich said. “That’s the fun part about that kid. It doesn’t matter whether you give him how many reps or whatever. You throw him in there. He believes in himself. And that’s a really important quality to have as a quarterback and you can see it in his eyes. So it’s fun. It’s fun coaching that dude, man.”
Set to embark on the start of his second year in the program with the start of Penn State’s spring semester this week, Pribula intends to carry over the same mindset to the next steps in his career.
“I will always approach every spring ball and fall camp like it’s the Super Bowl for me,” Pribula said. “So that’s how I’m always going to approach it and that’s how I’ll approach this spring ball as well.”
