It’s been nearly four months since Ashburn, Va., defensive end Jonathan Allen committed to the University of Alabama. Even though the open contact period began on Saturday, Allen’s phone has remained quiet.
“After I committed, I wanted to let other schools know that I was a hard commit, so no schools have contacted me since committing to Alabama,” Allen said.
