Jeff Allison is a “thumper” old-school middle linebacker that could adapt into an outside linebacker at the next level or play at his current position: Mike. Allison plays good zone coverage and reads underneath routes extremely well. He also can get into passing lanes by reading quarterback’s eyes and gets adequate depth in cover three and cover two zones. Being able to play against crossing routes at the next level is key for any linebacker and his tape shows that he can get in lanes and re-route receivers off their path well.
He’s a great hitter, bringing his “thumper” name to fruition.
