Kent State’s battle-tested interior anchor
In the 2022 season, Sam Allan was a steady, high-rep presence for Kent State, starting at multiple spots and finishing with Second Team All-MAC recognition after being described as the leader of the offensive line and a lineman who had seen time at all five positions[2][10][13]. At 6-foot-2 and around 285 pounds, his value is versatility, toughness, and line-room credibility more than flash—he’s the kind of grinder coaches trust when they want assignment-sound football and a veteran who’s been through the MAC trench wars[2][13].
