In 10 games this season, Allen rushed for 251 yards and a touchdown, averaging 4.8 yards per carry. As a True Freshman in 2022, Allen rushed for 268 yards in 7 games, averaging 5.1 yards per carry.

In 2023, Allen only averaged 5.7 carries per game. For comparison, in 2022, Allen averaged 7.6 carries. Allen probably wasn’t expecting to see his carries decrease in year 2.

Allen was a 4-star prospect (ESPN & 247Sports) in the Wolfpack’s 2022 recruiting class. ESPN ranked Allen as the #245 overall player nationally in the 2022 recruiting class, the #20 Athlete and the #7 player in the state of North Carolina (Rose/Greenville, NC).

He has two more years of eligibility, as well as his redshirt season.
