I have Gillis credited with at least two catches for 52 yards. One of those catches came late in the game, a 30-yarder off a dig route that put Concordia Prep deep in Archbishop Curley’s territory. He later made a tough catch while running a corner route, while being double-teamed. Gillis was clutch when his team needed him to be.

Allen is a player in line to have a breakthrough junior campaign with a reloaded MSJ offense. With a lean frame, arms to his knees and a long smooth stride – Gillis is a WR with big playmaking ability. He is best as a vertical threat, being able to stretch the seam from the slot or push deep and an X receiver. He runs like a gazelle with a stride that eats up grass allowing him to get down the field and over the top of the defense. Once the ball is in the air, he tracks the ball well running under it and snatching the ball out the air. Along with his length that allows for a big catch radius when he tracks the ball down as well. Allen is also effective in the jet sweep game, showing good speed to get around the edge and run big gains. Look for Mr. Gillis to have a strong season this fall and put up some big numbers.
