SIGNED - TE Austin Allen

HAHA UCLA offers today. I have a feeling they are a little miffed at the fact that not only did we beat them in the bowl game, but we are also taking there top talent right out of their own city.

Husker TE recruit Allen suffers knee injury

Sean Callahan | Publisher

 

2017 Aurora (Neb.) and Nebraska tight end recruit Austin Allen suffered a brief setback this past week during a basketball camp. On Saturday in a team camp game against Beatrice and fellow Husker tight end commit Cameron Jurgens, Allen injured his knee and after undergoing an MRI this week he will have surgery on his meniscus Thursday night in Lincoln.

May not play this fall

Successful surgery - out 4-6 months. Will miss at least the first half of football season. Possibly the whole thing.

2015 in review: For most of his life in sports, Allen thought he’d be a college basketball player. He was always the tallest kid in class and the best post player on his team. But in his sophomore year of football at Aurora, he began the shift from offensive line to tight end, and by his junior year, he was tough to stop, with 41 catches for 507 yards. He received a slew of offers — including from Nebraska, UCLA, Iowa State, Iowa and Central Florida — and picked the home-state Huskers. Allen proved to be a tough cover, coach Kyle Peterson said, because of his athleticism. Allen is also “charismatic,” Peterson said, and a natural leader and encourager at Aurora.

2016 outlook: If Allen plays football at all this season for Aurora, it’d be a surprise, as he tore knee cartilage during a June basketball game. Recovery time for the injury is four to six months, which means, at best, Allen is back for the Class B playoffs. If he is good to go, he will, but Peterson and Allen agreed: He has to be healthy, or it’s not worth the risk. Allen will play basketball for the Huskies if he’s healthy; he’ll have a chance at being All-Nebraska if he does. Allen may be a candidate to play early for Mike Riley’s Huskers.

Wow. I thought he was even going to miss some of basketball.
