Braelon Allen, RB

Height: 6’ 1¼”
Weight: 235 lbs.
Class: Junior

Braelon Allen was the 227th-ranked linebacker in the 2021 recruiting class out of Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin. Allen committed to the Wisconsin Badgers over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish before moving to a full-time running back as a true freshman.

Summary

If this were 1970-2010, we’d be talking about Allen as a top-ten pick. In 2024, we’re talking about him as a mid-round pick because of his skillset. Allen is a bulldozer who is going to make most of his money between the tackles and on early downs and will likely need a passing-down specialist with him.

Given his extensive playing time experience, I think Allen is kind of a “we know what he is” kind of prospect - and he’s a talented runner with limited upside in the passing game.

GRADE: 6.1
