Reginald Allen Jr. gives UT Martin a fast-rising, playmaking LB with early-week buzz
In the 2026 season, Reggie Allen has already flashed impact value for UT Martin: after joining from Bryant, he was named OVC Defensive Player of the Week following an eight-tackle, 1.5-TFL performance against Chicago State. He brings a sturdy 6-2, 220 frame, special-teams and linebacker experience from Western Kentucky, and a knack for finding the ball—his 2025 Bryant season included 29 tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss in nine games. The fit looks strong for a defense that wants a downhill, active, versatile linebacker who can show up early and hit hard.
