Josh Allen wants to set the record straight: No matter what Wyoming coach Craig Bohl says, the 21-year-old quarterback does, in fact, shave.
“I’ve got some stubble going on,” Allen said Wednesday while rubbing his rosy cheeks and glancing across the room in Bohl’s direction. “I have shaved, for the record. Don’t listen to that man over there.”
A year ago, the Firebaugh native wasn’t even invited to the Mountain West Football Media Summit at the Cosmopolitan. Outside the central San Joaquin Valley and Laramie, Wyo., few knew Allen even existed.
Fast forward 12 months and Allen has become the most talked-about player in the conference – and by no razor-thin margin.
