rangy, NFL-tested safety who brought size and playmaking to USF
Allen was a well-regarded South Florida safety whose defining traits were his size, athleticism, and ball production, and he later translated that profile into a second-round NFL draft selection. His NFL scouting notes praised his combination of length and movement, while also flagging that he was not always a consistent open-field tackler, which helps explain the type of fit he was: a versatile back-end defender with upside in coverage and enough range to impact the football. If you value instincts, size, and turnover potential, he was a strong fit.
