Local developmental linebacker with high-upside size and two-way toughness
Jaelyn Allen is a **developmental Virginia Tech linebacker** whose appeal is his **6-foot-2/6-foot-3, 217-225-pound frame**, all-state production at Salem, and a background that also included tight end, suggesting good hands, versatility, and functional athleticism. He **redshirted in 2024 and did not see game action**, so he’s still an evaluation prospect rather than a proven college performer, but the profile points to a physical, multi-sport-style defender with room to grow into special teams and depth work. If you want an in-state build-up player with size and upside, he fits the mold.[1][2][3]
