Keenan Allen-S/WR Projected Position: Safety/Wide Receiver Hometown: Greensboro, North Carolina Height: 6-foot-3 Weight: 196 lbs 40-yard Dash: 4.54 secs
Keenan Allen is one of the top prospects in the nation and one of two 5 star defensive backs that committed to Alabama this year. Its easy to see why the scouts and experts are so high on him from just his mere size and athleticism alone. With his tall frame, long arms, and good hands its expected that the Tide will try him out on offense first as a wide receiver along side of Julio Jones. Under Scott Cochran's conditioning program its easy to see how he can add an extra 20 pounds of muscle and improve his forty time, making the combination of him and JJ lethal.
On the defensive side of the ball Keenan has been a game changer with his athleticism, agility and outstanding peripheral vision that allows him to cover a ton of coverage and constantly stalk the ball.
It will be pretty hard to believe that he doesn't see playing time early and often.
