Projecting Badgers RB Braelon Allen’s 2023 season

Related Topics: Braelon Allen, Marcus Allen

Wisconsin Badgers running back Braelon Allen has been under a microscope ever since he touched the field as a 17-year-old freshman in 2021, where he immediately broke out and became one of the bigger recruiting wins for the school in recent history.

Allen, seeing action as a true freshman, rushed for 1,268 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2021, before following that up with a 1,242-yard, 11-touchdown season in 2022.

While the numbers were still of an elite running back, it seemed that Allen didn't have the best season compared to expectations in 2022, given the star was tasked with a heavy offensive load, and faced recurring injuries that hampered his impact.
