Football: Braelon Allen’s chances at a Heisman Trophy

In his senior year at Fond Du Lac High School, Braelon Allen became a sensation. Allen, a four-star linebacker committed to Wisconsin, had one of the most dominant seasons Wisconsin high school football had ever seen.

In the seven games Fond Du Lac played that season, Allen made 44 tackles, a forced fumble and an interception as linebacker. This was solid season of Allen defensively, but his offensive accomplishments made it all the more impressive because.

As running back that high school season, Allen ran the ball 71 times for more than 1,000 yards and 23 touchdowns.
