Allen's signing, along with teammate Josh Jennings (I'll do a separate blog on Jennings later) was big doin's at Dean College. Read the Dean College write up here.
Allen was the only Defensive lineman signed by UMass so far. Seeing that we only signed one down lineman in 2005 (Tony Cina), it would be likely that UMass is still looking for more players in this category.
Allen played well for Dean.
- started 20 games in two years
- Stats (2005) : 9G 22 Solo 23 AST 45 TT 5.0 T/game 5 Sacks 2 FF
- Second in total tackles to the other UMass recruit Josh Jennings (really good totals for a down lineman)
