Veteran Tar Heel DB with size, pedigree, and special-teams grit
Allen brings legit veteran utility to North Carolina: in the 2023 season, he appeared in 12 games at defensive back and on special teams, recording three tackles, after a career that includes 31 games, three starts, 46 tackles, and an interception at Georgia Tech. He was a highly rated recruit coming out of Lassiter, and his 6-1.5, 210-pound frame gives him the physical profile teams like in the secondary. The upside is clear: experienced, versatile, and tough enough to contribute in multiple roles. The caution flag is that his production has been modest, so he fits best as a reliable depth piece with special-teams value rather than a headline star.
