From Scout.com: They call Allen “Dynamite” for a reason. This kid can really scoot and is one of the more underrated players in the state. He has good size, speed and shows the ability to make some pretty electric plays. Allen can do it between the tackles or in space. He possesses excellent vision and balance, which are two key characteristics I look for in backs. He has a terrific burst and can really accelerate. Bobby Petrino got a really good one here.
