Alabama LB Christopher Allen reportedly makes decision on 2021 season
The SEC’s leader for tackles for a loss in 2020 is set to return for another season.
Alabama LB Christopher Allen, who had 13 tackles for a loss for the Crimson Tide, is expected to return, according to a report from Matt Zenitz of AL.com. Part of the reason Allen is eyeing a return is Zenitz reported that Allen is viewed in the NFL scouting world as a potential Day 2 draft pick.
Allen made four tackles in the national championship game, including a tackle for a loss.
The All-SEC selection by the league’s coaches, Allen also also registered six sacks to go with five quarterback pressures, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. He was picked as a defensive player of the week by the Alabama coaching staff for his play against Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Georgia, Mississippi State, Auburn and LSU.
Allen is an experienced defender who saw action in seven games as a freshman in 2017, but then suffered a knee injury before the 2018 season. In 2019, Allen appeared in 13 games and made 11 tackles, including half a sack including 4.5 tackles for a loss, and added a pair of quarterback pressures.
Alabama is set to have a press conference at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday for players who are declaring early for the NFL Draft.
ROLLL Tide
I’m hearing Jobe is coming back as well as Brian Robinson..
nice
then we would have McClellan, robinson, and sanders at rb
And also the new 5* Camar Wheaton
If Jobe joins Allen in coming back for another year, this defense is going to be stacked next year. Only losing Surtain, Moses (don’t see him coming back), and Barmore.
Great news
