2027 tight end and linebacker Jake Allison Jake Allison 6'3" | LB Mount St. Mary | 2027 State OK is one of the foundational pieces to this Mount St. Mary turnaround over the last two years. The Rockets have added very valuable pieces but Allison has been here from the beginning and you can’t forget about his impact on where this program has come. Offensively, Allison is one of several tight end prospects to look out for this season. He has reliable hands but that’s not the only impact he’ll have on offense. He’ll also take direct snaps in the backfield as a wildcat quarterback. But then he turns around and is a very productive defender at the linebacker position. He could end up being one of their leading tacklers this season. 

Very first clip that I turned on for Film Room Friday on Jake, he made a spectacular play at middle linebacker where he went up and snagged the ball out of the air for a touchdown. Jake is athletic with a long frame who stands in at 6’3″ from Mount St. Mary. He does a good job of getting off blocks well and just makes plays on the defensive side of the ball. On the offensive side of the ball, he plays out at wide receiver and is a big target for his quarterback. He shows off nice hands and once he catches the ball, he picks up those hard yards with his yards after catch. Jake is a big body athlete who creates mismatches down in the redzone.
