Cole Allen is a developing Duke tackle with upside and a power-profile frame
In the 2025 season, Duke’s Cole Allen appeared in 2 games and logged 13 snaps, earning the program’s Sonny Falcone Iron Duke Award as a top developmental player in the weight room. At 6-foot-5 and 265 pounds, the redshirt freshman brings an NFL-shaped frame, clear strength-development appeal, and the kind of work ethic coaches love in a young OL. He’s still early in the climb—more projection than production—but if you want a physically gifted, development-friendly blocker with blue-collar traits, Allen is the kind of bet worth making.
