Allen

Allen (6'2/187) worked his way into the Tar Heels’ starting lineup late in his 2022 freshman year and never relinquished the role. He led the team twice in passes defended, yet has just three career interceptions. Allen, 22, ran a 4.50-second 40 at the NFL Scouting Combine and produced a 39” vertical jump. He has special teams experience, which will help give him a leg up on a 53-man roster spot, though the practice squad remains his most likely 2026 home.

Allen, a 6-foot-2 and 165-pound CB out of Georgia, is down to just a trio of potential schools. North Carolina, Auburn, and nearby Georgia Tech made Allen’s final list. These were the only three schools Allen took a visit to, with the most recent being North Carolina this past weekend. Allen did not say when he will commit, but with this final list being put out, it will probably come soon.
