A former Wildcat and a potential future Wildcat each received significant postseason honors this week.
Lexington native Beau Allen entered the transfer portal just before the start of the 2022 Kentucky football season and quickly found a new home in Texas. In his first season quarterbacking at Tarleton State, Beau Allen shined. He was named WAC Newcomer of the Year, one of the conference’s five major awards, after leading the league in touchdowns (23) and passing yards (2,838).
Allen passed for 300+ yards five different times, highlighted by a career-high 406-yard performance in a 42-40 win at Southern Utah.
