Summary
Strengths
Wide upper body allows him to work through contact
Feet and overall bounce surprise you for his size
Dumps defenders at the 2nd level when given momentum, can lower the shoulder and bring the BOOM
Over 700 rushing yards AFTER contact in 2024
Played his best football in 2024 at the end of the year in the biggest games (B1G Championship vs. Oregon, playoff vs. SMU, playoff vs. Boise State)
Weaknesses
Gets bounce happy when a lot of traffic forms in front of him
Loses the tracks of the run and runs himself into unblocked defenders
Not much of a pass game role
Final Report
Allen has a wide build and consistently bounces through contact. His foot quickness and bounce at his size catches defenders off guard, but he also has no problem shouldering through them at the second level. Overall, Allen is a creative runner at the line of scrimmage that turns two yard gains into six.
