Nebraska RB Ajay Allen commits to Miami

View as article
Reminds me of Jaylon Knighton, in the open field, just a tad bit slower but runs behind his pads more, which I prefer.

I think he has a trait that Knighton never did: decisiveness. Allen knows where he’s going and sets guys up to misread him. That instinct is more important than raw speed, because most of the game is played in traffic, not in a sprint.

Brother, I was thinking the exact same thing this is a vey impressive player .
He pretty much has just what we need he’s got all the amenities to run the tail back position.
We will not lose one single step when his number is called excellent field presence.
I was looking to detect any thinking in his game there is none this separates the top RB from the regular get the ball and run fast.
His peripheral vision is top flight.

I like his aggression. How he runs north and south. A simple one cut and explode sort. I just think his competition he's playing against atleast out of the clips I watched was really basic. They all play the same defense essentially. So I'd like to see how he translates to a higher level of competition. We look at this kid as a fill in for rooster. He has alot of the same traits and most importantly hes supposed to be much better with ball security. Hopefully we see this kid used like rooster was supposed to have been with a multi faceted approach. We have backs. Let's see how this kid can play in space.

Appreciate this reply. Now I understand the wow reaction on my post.

I honestly did not watch his highlight as it’s my hometown and my daughter went to school with him so I saw him play in person in some big games.

But his school played against top competition in the state. I’m going to take a peek and see who they have him playing on his film.

My bad. I never clarify my reactions. I only watched first few clips. But I wasn't impressed with the defenses. I am a defense kinda guy but that was just my quick take
