Mike Allen brings veteran size and interior disruption to WKU’s front
In the 2022 season, Mike Allen was a steady rotation piece for Western Kentucky, appearing in all 14 games and finishing with 16 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss, plus a sack in the bowl win over South Alabama[1]. At 6-foot-5 and 290 pounds, he offers legitimate interior length and mass, and the tape/profile consensus calls him a disruptive inside presence who can push the pocket from the middle[1][3]. He looks like a fit for teams wanting a big, experienced DT who can hold gaps and collapse the interior rather than just rack up flashy box-score numbers[1][3].
