#99 Andre Allen RB – Panama City Arnold – 5 feet 9 inches – 3 Star
Measurables: 5 feet 9 inches, 175 pounds
Comparable Talent: Brandon James St. Augustine Class of 2006
Overall Grade: 20.1
Athleticism: 4.3
Allen is a jitter bug type runner nearly impossible to tackle in the open field. He changes direction as well as in back in this class. However, Allen’s quickness is not accompanied by top end game speed.
Field Presence: 5.1
This prospect has special vision in the open field and the ability to dart in and out of holes makes him all the more dangerous at the next level. Andre is also extremely instinctive when the ball is in his hands.
Potential: 3.5
Allen is going to be an excellent 3rd down back and return specialist at the next level. We don’t see him as an every down back but he may develop into one in time.
Stature: 3.8
Allen is not a big kid at 5’9 175 he will need to ad size and strength before he will be ready to play at the collegiate level.
Technique: 3.8
Allen is a little raw at this point, but he does a lot of things well naturally. Ball security and pass blocking will be areas that he would be wise to focus on as he enters his final high school season.
