Wisconsin Badgers running back Braelon Allen is one of the nation’s top running backs heading into the season 2023 season, having rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of the past two seasons, and facing a difference in offensive philosophy with Phil Longo’s new scheme.

After a strong true freshman season, Allen saw struggles at times with injuries during his sophomore year, while the porous offensive attack led to issues with his rushing style, as it seemed he was looking for “home-run” esque plays, rather than trusting the scheme and the downfield holes.

Now, preparing for a bounce-back junior season to cement himself as a potential top pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Allen’s progress begins during fall camp, where the Badgers have started getting ready for the upcoming year.
