Texas Tech linebacker Dakota Allen is headed to the NFL.
The former Red Raiders defensive standout was selected by the Los Angeles Rams with the No. 251 overall pick in the NFL draft on Saturday.
Allen, a native of Humble, Texas, recorded 115 total tackles and four interceptions in three seasons of playing time at Tech. He recorded a career-high 101 total tackles, in addition to two interceptions, as a junior in 2017 before capping off his senior season with 61 total tackles last fall.
Allen's selection marks the fourth straight spring Texas Tech has had a least one player selected in the NFL draft.
