Brayden Allen brings early-down linebacker upside with size, college-ready physicality, and freshman-year runway
Brayden Allen, a 6-foot-2, 216-pound linebacker for Dayton, arrived in 2025 as a January enrollee and was recruited with a strong regional résumé: 7A First Team All-Region, Honorable Mention All-Georgia, and 16 tackles for loss in high school. He looks like a useful fit if you want a physical, developmental LB who can grow into the role rather than a finished product right away. The appeal is the frame, the work-in-progress upside, and the chance to mold him into a reliable downhill defender.
