Next up on our countdown to the start of Iowa’s 2022 football season is a freshman defensive lineman who joined the Hawkeyes in the spring.
Brian Allen – Freshman
Lake in the Hills, IL (St. Thomas More (Conn.))
6’4”, 250 lbs
2022 Projection: reserve defensive end
Allen was a fall addition to Iowa’s 2022 class after a bit of a whirlwind recruitment for the defensive end. Originally committed to home state Illinois and Bret Bielema, he decommitted and saw his recruiting profile rise with offers filtering in from Oregon, West Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Iowa, among others.
