Allen comes in as the top ranked QB in the state in the initial 2027 PRZ rankings after a big freshman season at Central throwing for 2,100 yards and 28 touchdowns. At 5’11” 170 lbs. he’s a natural passer with a smooth over the top delivery. His release is quick and compact allowing him to get the ball out quickly while hitting receivers in stride. Shows he can be accurate and hit his spots to all three levels of the field and flashes the arm strength to throw off platform without sacrificing velocity. Like his ability to layer the ball over second level defenders with touch and trajectory. Plus footwork and mobility in the pocket, he’s never rushed and shows he can escape pressure and extend the play while keeping his eyes downfield for an open target. Good ability to go through his progression without forcing the ball into coverage, only threw 3 interceptions on 178 attempts in 2023. Transferred to Chaparral for his sophomore season and has good upside/potential as he continues to develop.

In fact, he has no problem throwing his receivers open. Leading them into open space and away from where defenders can make a play on the ball. Although he didn’t light up the rushing leaderboard, he shows an incredible ability to use his legs to improvise and make something happen for his team.
