RB, Sr., 5-7, 185 lbs., Hyattsville, MD/Penn State
WEEK 9 Stats: 2 punt returns, 75 PR yards, 65-yard PR TD
Allen became the first NEC athlete to return a punt to paydirt this season. The graduate transfer running back, who scored on a two-yard rush early in the second half, found the end zone again in the opening minute of the fourth quarter. He fielded a 47-yard punt on the far hash mark at his own 35-yard line and worked his way to the near sideline before turning on the burners. Allen’s 65-yard punt return gave the Dukes a 28-14 advantage with 14:36 remaining. Allen, who made two fair catches earlier in the contest, added a 10-yard punt return from his own 9-yard line with 4:04 left on the clock.
