Beau Allen Is Home

Beau Allen was born to be a Kentucky Wildcat quarterback. The son of a former UK signal caller from eastern Kentucky (Bill Allen), the Lexington Catholic superstar could play himself in a movie based on gridiron in the Commonwealth. He credits a large portion of his decision to stay in Lexington to the relationships he had with the coaching staff.
