James Alleman- Dana Hills
Alleman was one of the most productive receiving TEs in California totaling 26 catches for 585 receiving yards and 4 TDs in the regular season. He’s a lengthy athlete with long strides that pick up chunks of yards after the catch. He shows quickness in and out of his cuts and body control adjusting to the ball in the air. He has soft, absorbing hands and can work the middle of the field finding the seam in two-safety looks. Alleman committed to Utah as a preferred walk-on in late December.
