Ivy League mauler who anchored Princeton’s run game
In the 2011 season, Matt Allen earned second-team All-Ivy honors and was described by Princeton as the driving force on an offensive line that powered the league’s top rushing attack, starting 20 straight games at guard and helping the Tigers average 201.8 rushing yards per game. He stands out for consistency, physicality, and dependable interior play rather than flash—exactly the kind of steady trench piece coaches love. If your team wants a tough, proven blocker with leadership and real run-game value, Allen checks that box.
