It has been a long time since a player inspired Texas Tech football fans the way that former All-Big 12 linebacker Dakota Allen did. One of the most humble, kind, and talented players to come through the program in the last decade, Allen’s journey from Tech to Last Chance U and back to Lubbock will forever be one of the more uplifting tales of redemption we have the pleasure of witnessing first-hand.
Now, it looks like Allen is quickly becoming a key part of what the Los Angeles Rams plan to do this season. Despite being just a 7th round draft pick, Allen is likely to get a shot at some important snaps this year after an unfortunate injury befell one of this teammates.
