About Allen Updated Jun 16, 2026

rangy, high-motor Texas Tech linebacker with proven tackling instincts

Dakota Allen’s calling card is fast, reliable linebacker play built on tackling volume, field awareness, and proven production at Texas Tech, where he earned First-team All-Big 12 honors in 2018 after a strong 2017 season as well. He’s a fit for a defense that values instinctive inside linebacker play and effort, not just splashy stats; his background also includes a dramatic football journey and a reputation for resilience. If you want a dependable tone-setter with SEC/Big 12-caliber toughness and leadership edge, Allen is the kind of player coaches trust.
