B5Q Roundtable: Emergency Braelon Allen Position Switch Edition!!!!
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY! Photo by Tino Plunert/picture alliance via Getty Images On Thursday afternoon, Jon McNamara of Rivals dropped a bomb on Badgers Twitter by announcing that 2021 4-star ATH Braelon Allen (Fond du Lac) had told him that he would be playing running back when he got to Madison. Most assumed that he would play on the defensive side of the ball, but Allen had a monster spring season toting the rock and will apparently try his luck there first.
In seven games, Allen rushed for 1,047 yards on 71 attempts (an absurd 14.7 ypc) with 21 touchdowns. He was also named The Associated Press player of the year for the WIAA’s spring season.
