Texas Tech LB Dakota Allen (Last Chance U alum) to attend Texans' local prospect day

Texas Tech inside linebacker Dakota Allen, whose comeback story was chronicled on the Netflix show "Last Chance U," is scheduled to attend the Texans' local prospect day, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.

Allen was dismissed from Texas Tech prior to the 2016 season when the Humble native was arrested for burglary with the charges eventually dismissed.

The Summer Creek graduate enrolled at East Mississippi Community College and was named all-region and was featured on "Last Chance U" as he sought a second chance.

Allen, who had no other off-field issues before or after the incident, was reinstated at Texas Tech and given a scholarship after former Red Raiders coach Kliff Kingsbury, now the Arizona Cardinals' coach, vouched for his character

Allen has also met with the Indianapolis Colts.
