Allen, who has offers from Baylor, Arizona State, Auburn, Duke, and Iowa State, is a true ballhawking safety who thrives when the football is in the air. He shows a natural ability to track the quarterback and break on routes, consistently putting himself in position to make plays on the ball.
On film, Allen stands out for his anticipation and range on the back end. He reads passing concepts well, closes ground quickly, and isn’t afraid to jump routes when he sees an opportunity. That aggressiveness leads to turnovers, as he plays with confidence when attacking the football.
Beyond the interceptions, Allen is active in coverage and steady in support, showing the ability to cover ground and stay connected in space. His ability to create impact plays in the passing game makes him a dangerous presence in the secondary and a constant threat to change possession.
