Tanner Allen is a rotational Texas Tech DL with limited but growing game action
In the 2025 season, Tanner Allen appeared in five games for Texas Tech as a reserve defensive lineman and special-teams contributor, with his most visible production coming against Kansas when he recorded two tackles; across his Texas Tech career, he has totaled 4 solo tackles in limited playing time. At 6-3, 280 pounds, he has the size profile of an interior run-stopper, and the key takeaway is that he looks like depth with developmental upside rather than a proven every-down anchor yet. If you need a tough, low-mileage lineman who can compete for snaps and add physicality, he is at least a fit to monitor. [9][7][8]
