Texas Tech LB Dakota Allen helped make his name on Last Chance U, a Netflix documentary about a junior college in Mississippi that takes chances on players with academic or disciplinary issues.
Allen landed at the school (East Mississippi Community College) in 2016 after being kicked off Texas Tech's team for a burglary charge. His time at EMCC was positive, both on and off the field. And not only did it help give Allen a second chance in Lubbock, Texas Tech is now using it as a positive on the recruiting trail.
"The Netflix thing was huge, they all saw him on there, he was portrayed in a very good light and he's a good player as well," Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury said.
