Expert Analysis
Oliver West | Prep Redzone Scout
Shoutout to fellow PRZ scout Nate Wahl Nate Wahl 5'8" | 210 lbs | DL Big Lake | 2027 MN , who found Caledonia’s Next Great Prep Football Prospect at one of South Dakota State’s prospect camps this summer. This may go down as the recruiting find of the year in Minnesota, as Allen was not only a fantastic tester and performer at a verified 6’3, 215 pounds as a rising sophomore, but also has been up eye-catching production on the gridiron as a second-year starter in 2025. Through three games, Allen has posted 30 tackles, 2 sacks, and a 1 FF, positioning himself to easily best his 2024 numbers of 55 tackles, 5 sacks, and 3 TFLs. Given the combination, it’s hard not to see Allen as a P4 linebacker or DE some day soon, and the film he’s released so far displays eye-catching closing speed, defensive range, the ability to easily track the hip and close with pace, and tackle well in space and in 1v1 settings. Allen flows to the ball with urgency, attacks at the contact point and looks to win at the gain line, and runs the alley like a safety. I’m itching for more tape on this kid. Nothing hits like a Division 1 Caledonia kid.
