I am heavily considering making Caledonia’s imposing linebacker Cooper Allen the #1 prospect in Minnesota’s 2028 class, and his 2025-26 wrestling season is only making the choice easier. Currently ranked 5th at Class A 215 pounds, Allen sprinted out of the gates to a 14-1 record in the 2025-26 season, and he also placed 5th at the heavyweight Bi-State wrestling tournament in La Crosse, going 5-2 on the weekend to really put that “iron sharpens iron” mantra to the test.

A darling of the 2025 Summer Camp SZN, Allen absolutely blew the roof off the South Dakota State prospect camp in June, which included a testing performance so impressive that I’m going to keep it close to the vest! Allen transitioned to the football field beautifully, finishing Caledonia’s 12 game 2025 campaign with 114 tackles, 2 sacks, and 2 FFs, according to MNFootballHub, up there with the top in the state for total tackles last fall. Although he only has two games of 2025 highlights up on his Hudl, Allen still displays nose for the ball and can make 1v1 tackles in space and all over the field and is a beast of a tackler who dominates at the contact point and gain line, especially when he has a full head of steam. Allen flies off the ball at the snap and is strong through contact and can make 1v1 tackles with OL draped all over him, and I’m impressed by his lateral agility and quickness when reading and tracking ball carriers at the LOS and gap-to-gap. At a verified 6’3, 215+, Allen owns sideline-to-sideline range and explosive closing speed, with particularly impressive acceleration for his size once he sticks his cleat in the turf and fires out towards the ball carrier. So much obvious juice coming out of one of Minnesota’s most legendary programs, and with a wrestling background to boot? Future is bright for this sophomore Warrior.
