Up-and-coming superstar running back Braelon Allen made headlines in a unique manner this weekend. After an impressive run, Allen ran straight into the kicker’s net on the Iowa sideline, sending both himself and the net flying to the ground in a hilarious fashion.
What many people don’t realize is that Allen is only 17 years old, and he’s still just getting his feet under him. That’s something you’d never guess as he has quietly strung together four straight 100-yard games and is 16th in the country with a ridiculous 6.8 yards per carry. With such high-quality performance so early into his college career, there’s no doubt Allen is expected to follow in the footsteps of Badger legends such as Ron Dayne and Jonathan Taylor.
