Stanford RB Brian Allen: elusive, versatile, and a steady backfield spark
Brian Allen’s Stanford profile points to a compact, quick-footed runner who was known for speed, elusiveness, and a breakaway threat out of the backfield; Stanford’s own bio called him “the most elusive runner” on the team and a player who could share carries while adding value as a receiver. In his Stanford career, he totaled 1,218 rushing yards and 163 receiving yards, with his best season coming in 2000 when he led the Cardinal with 460 rushing yards and 105 receiving yards. If your team wants a back with burst and versatility more than bruising power, Allen looks like a fit.
