Charleston Southern’s big-play back with an injury-scarred past
Teddy Allen is a familiar name for Charleston Southern fans because, in the 2011 season, he showed real burst as a runner, including a 125-yard game on 13 carries and a 70-yard, touchdown performance after returning from injury. That injury history matters: he was also part of a group that missed time that season, so durability is the obvious question mark. When healthy, Allen looks like a productive, versatile back who can handle volume and make defenses pay quickly — the kind of player you care about if your team values toughness, playmaking, and a little extra juice out of the backfield.
