Does anyone know his status? I don’t see any buzz about him here or on the interweb.

What info are you looking for?

I was hoping CGC would mention him more if he was lighting it up in practice.

 

[Jack_it]

Talks about our other transfers pretty often.

I took this to mean he was happy about being eligible to play starting this upcoming season.

He talked extensively about Allen during an interview 2 days ago. Forget which interview though....

Yeah I am pretty sure I saw this, too. Also cant remember where.

Collins does talk about him, I think he said the following:

* A leader on the development team and coach saw him every day
* Mentions that he is a "top 100" player
* I think he said he should help at both Safety and "nickel"
* My impression is they expect great things out of him

I'll be honest. Thread titles with only a player's name continue to freak me out before I click.

He told an anecdote where DA was on the scout team and all the other scout team defenders respected him.

 

[Jerry the Jacket]

But is he above the line?

Go Jackets!

From Quinlan's interview with CGC the other day:

Derrik Allen was one of the most popular kids on our developmental defense. He was an unbelievable teammate. There's a bunch of walk-ons over there. And not that we care about that, but the respect that he gave them, and the bonds that he made with them. I mean, he's one one of the top hundred players in the country. But he came here was on the developmental team, and never acted like he was something he just acted like he was a great teammate. He acted like he was just on the developmental team, I'm going to get better. I'm going to get better with my dudes, anyone out there and had a great attitude.

 

[JoeCakeEater]

I think he meant he was a top 100 ranked player in his recruiting class.

Good scout team players are hard to find. It's hard to give a good look consistently in practice. In addition, it's really tiring. It can be extremely rewarding if done correctly. You basically get free practice against the best on the team. It's how I made my chops- going up against D.Morgan, Mike Johnson, Vance, and Drich every down of my freshman year.

You are correct. Notice he also has the Twitter handles for Clayton and Ezzard as well. IOW, they're no longer held back by the NCAA restrictions...now they can get on the field and compete.
