Byron Allen brings veteran defensive versatility and ball-hawking instincts to VMI
Byron Allen is listed by VMI as a safety and, based on available program coverage, he has shown the kind of active, assignment-sound play that coaches love in the secondary—especially as a tackler and pass-breakup threat. In VMI game coverage, Allen was credited with a team-high nine tackles against JMU in 2009 and four pass breakups against Charleston Southern in 2011, signaling a player who can both finish plays and disrupt throws. That profile fits a team needing toughness, communication, and special-teams-friendly reliability more than flashy highlight noise.
