Former Boys Town star Teddy Allen commits to Husker hoops

The Nebraska men's basketball team has landed the leading junior college scorer in the country, and a name familiar to the state's high school hoops fans.

Teddy Allen, the former Boys Town star who started his career at West Virginia, committed to the Huskers Tuesday, a source confirmed.

Allen is currently leading the nation in scoring at the junior college level, averaging 32 points per game at Western Nebraska Community College in Scottsbluff.

The 6-foot-5, 200-pounder is a redshirt sophomore, meaning he has two years of eligibility remaining when he joins NU in 2020.

Allen is shooting 54 percent from the field and nearly 43 percent from three-point range for WNCC, as well as nearly 90 percent at the free throw line while grabbing 7.
