BJ Allen Jr.

Good frame with plus-4.5 length. Lean, athletic build with obvious space to add mass. Versatile defensive back who can stay on the field in all situations. Length aids in catch-point disruption in coverage and tackling consistency. Willing participant vs. the run with some pop when able to uncoil. Plays for state title-caliber Texas 5A program with ample experience in pressure situations. Strong tackling production as a sophomore. Solid junior production with perhaps increased stops vs. the pass. Plays aware and instinctive. Accelerates well in pursuit, when breaking on the ball, and in recovery speed. Does not give up the outside often. Takes good angles to the ball as a tackler. Quite natural when asked to play center field. Shows good play speed with a solid 11.27-second 100-meter time from sophomore year. Still has room to get faster at the top end with frame length to help reach that. Ball skills can improve. Competent over the top and covering the slot but honing man coverage technique will enhance game further. One of the top DB's in Texas and likely among the better safeties nationally in his class. Projects as a multi-year impact player at the Power Five level and potential early-round NFL Draft pick.
