Josh Allen’s name is getting early buzz toward next year’s NFL Draft.

Prospects slip through the cracks all the time due to one thing or another. It could be because they play multiple sports and are not on the camp circuit, have a late growth spurt or are from a small town.

All of those can describe Wyoming Cowboys quarterback, and potential top-5 NFL Draft pick, Josh Allen.

Out of high school Allen was not heavily recruited and even the local Fresno State — within an hour drive of Firebaugh, California -- did not really try all that hard to recruit him.

Allen had very few offers out of high school and eventually made his way to Reedley Community College where he played in 2014 before transferring to Wyoming.
