Allen has also been starting to draw recruiting interest this season.

Does Allen have any college game day visits planned?

Allen, who saw limited varsity action last season as a sophomore discussed making his first varsity starter a few weeks ago.

Allen also filled us in on what he focused on this off season to improve his overall game.

"I just worked hard on improving my overall skill set. I've gotten faster and I worked hard on my speed plus I lifted a lot this off season and added more strength and good weight. I lifted year round this past year and it really started to pay off."
