Following a successful big brother never is easy. Following him at the same school while playing the same position can be a bit unnerving – especially when big brother was pretty darn good.
But you know what? Austin Allen looks as if he can do it – and do it with a little style.
Allen, a junior from Fayetteville (Ark.) High, will get his first college start at quarterback on September 3 when Arkansas plays host to Louisiana Tech. That means Allen’s first college start comes about a mile from where he went to high school.
For the past three years, Arkansas’ quarterback job was held by Brandon Allen, his older brother.
