Former Nixa standout Chase Allen has signed as an undrafted free agent with the Chicago Bears.
The four-time Second Team All-Big 12 tight end will have the chance to continue his football career after six seasons at Iowa State. The school announced his signing after the draft on Saturday.
At 6-foot-7, 250 pounds, Allen is coming off a year he caught 26 passes for 284 yards and a pair of touchdowns. It was his best statistical year after catching 74 passes for 810 yards and six touchdowns over his career.
The son of former Missouri State, Northern Iowa and Kansas head coach Terry Allen was a three-star out of Nixa High School and was ranked as a top-25 tight end nationally.
