Allen has had a fantastic senior year that has put a bow on what has been an outstanding college career.
The linebacker is one sack away from breaking Kentucky football’s all time sack record.
This season, Allen has gotten to the quarterback an SEC-leading 11 times, has deflected four passes, forced five fumbles and has made 40 total tackles.
Allen will get the chance to put on the Kentucky helmet one last time following Kentucky’s bowl game by playing in this event.
The Senior Bowl will take place on January 26th at 2:30 p.m. in Mobile Alabama.
