undersized Sooners LB who brought grit, not flash
Gayron Allen was a hard-nosed Oklahoma linebacker whose game was built on effort, toughness, and steady growth—he arrived at 5-10 and added weight from 195 pounds as a freshman to 235 by his senior season in 2004. He was more of a role-player than a headline-grabber, but that kind of blue-collar reliability can still matter if you need a physical, high-motor defender who understands leverage and keeps coming. The catch: the available record points to an older player from the 2000-2004 Sooners, not a current Oklahoma athlete, so any fit depends on whether you meant this former OU LB.
