INDIANAPOLIS – Junior strong safety Antonio Allen (Indianapolis/Ben Davis) doesn’t know where is going to be playing his college ball next fall, but he knows he will be playing.
“I’m going to make my decision on where I can play at, because I’m not trying to go nowhere and sit on the bench. That’s my main thing,” Allen said. “I’m trying to come in and play. I’m going to graduate early so I can play spring ball.”
Allen said he is already on track to graduate early. He holds offers from Cincinnati, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky and Purdue, and he is receiving interest from Georgia Tech and a few other Big Ten programs.
