To those who closely follow SEC football, Austin Allen is mostly unknown, aside from a few basics.
What’s known is this: He’s the younger brother of former Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen, who just wrapped up his Razorbacks career in 2015 and is pursuing the NFL. Austin followed in his brother’s footsteps, starring at Fayetteville High School in Arkansas before signing with the Razorbacks, where he eventually became Brandon’s backup. Austin has attempted 19 collegiate passes.
The rest we’ll all find out soon enough after head coach Bret Bielema tabbed Austin Allen as the Hogs’ starting quarterback last week.
