Huskies’ efforts to recruit Levi Onwuzurike out of Texas are starting to pay off

They like to say that everything is bigger in Texas.

And, if that’s true, then everything is biggest in Allen, Texas, a Dallas suburb that’s home to one of the Huskies’ most touted defensive-line recruits in recent years.

Allen High School in 2017 had the largest enrollment of any Texas high school, with some 6,600 students. Its football stadium, build at a cost of $60 million in 2012, seats 18,000. Its marching band, with some 800 members, is three times larger than the University of Washington marching band.

Levi Onwuzurike was one of Allen High’s best players at a program that won 57 consecutive games and three state titles from 2012 to 2015.
