Allen impressed us last offseason at our Prep Redzone Combine, and he’s had a great JV season. He’s also gotten a few varsity reps, where he’s flashed as an impressive cover corner. He moves well, with good footwork and fluid hips. As he gains length and weight, he should be one of the better cover corners in the state.

Allen is making an enormous impact on junior varsity as a freshman and is a candidate to be a late-season call-up to the varsity. His ball skills are excellent, and he’s able to use his length to get his hands on the ball when it’s in the air. He’s a former PRZ Camp MVP and a guy on our radar, and we’re excited to see him progress.
