With a quick first step and plenty of twitch, Ridge Allen Ridge Allen 5'9" | 160 lbs | ATH Ben Franklin | 2025 State AZ wasted no time showing he can be a difference-maker. He accelerates to the second level in a flash, reading blocks and sliding past defenders before they can react. Once he’s in open space, Allen uses his burst and vision to hit creases and pick up extra yardage. He’s also comfortable catching short passes out of the backfield, showcasing some versatility. By combining good instincts with natural athleticism, he proved he can contribute in multiple ways on offense.

Allen was that spark for Ben Franklin on both sides of the ball. A dynamic, raw athlete that out-athlete nearly everyone he went up against. Love his ability to diagnose and react at LB, as he frequently diagnosed plays pre-snap. Really good play strength and play speed, as he has the ability to make plays sideline to sideline or come downhill to fill alley and explode through the hips of opponents. Big striking ability when he gets squared up well. Offensively, solid vision and balance to stay up after initial contact and burst through opening lanes. Overall a technically sound kid with a ton of raw ability, and could be a steal at whoever lands him.
