Fresno State linebacker Jeff Allison, the Mountain West defensive player of the year and a two-time first-team all-conference selection, will forgo his senior season to enter the NFL Draft.
Allison, one of the most productive linebackers in the country, led a Bulldogs defense that ended the regular season ranked first in the conference in total defense, passing and passing efficiency defense and red zone defense. He was in on 132 tackles in his junior season with 72 solo, 6.0 tackles for loss and two interceptions while playing in 14 games, though was in for only one series of a blowout victory at UNLV, coming out of the game as a precaution after taking a hit to a knee.
