Catching Up with Kyle Allen

When will you be in Columbus and what are you looking to accomplish while you are there?
I'll be camping there on June 23. I want to see the campus and work with the coaches so that I can see if I fit in well and will have good relationships with them. I'm going up there to have fun and if I perform well there's a chance I can earn an offer.


What has the staff told you about an offer?
Once again, Coach Herman has told me that he loves what I do and how I play, but it's really Coach Meyer's call. If he likes me at camp there's definitely a chance I could get an offer from them.

Kyle Allen talks Buckeye visit $

Scottsdale Desert Mountain's Kyle Allen, a 6-foot-2 quarterback with seven offers to date, visited Ohio State Saturday for the Buckeyes' camp. Did he do enough to earn an offer from Ohio State?

Clearly not since the staff is telling everyone they are waiting to evaluate senior film before offering, but Allen certainly seems to be in the mix with guys like Barker, Henderson, and Kizer for that offer.

Same high school as verbally offered '14 AZ WR/TE Mark Andrews.

Desert Mtn. goes airborne to beat Dobson

Desert Mountain quarterback Kyle Allen completed 14-of-24 passes for 202 yards and three touchdowns. He turned to Cody Erickson and Mark Andrews for a combined nine of those completions.

Erickson finished with five receptions, 79 yards and one touchdown. Andrews had four catches for 79 yards and one touchdown. He also had a 64-yard touchdown run.

Andrews' size at 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds provided a big target for Allen against Dobson's much smaller corners.

"It's a huge help because I can throw it anywhere to him," Allen said. "Just throw it up high because most of the corners out here are 5-6 or 5-7, so, you know, I can throw it up to him and just creates a whole new facet to the game on offense that most teams just don't have."

Andrews has a Buckeye offer...

If he and Andrews are a package deal, I would probably move Allen near the top of my 2014 QB list. Andrews is a stud, and this kid is very good in his own right.

Not as big as Henderson, and not really the kind of athlete you would think Meyer would want, but he can sling it.

You're darn right I am :biggrin: Might put us in the driver seat, at least near the top. I really had Barker as 1A and Allen as 1B behind Watson...Allen is the best pro-style QB in the country imo. Kid can make every throw in the field and the ball gets out of his hand in a HURRY. Needs to quit releasing the ball off his shoulder on the deep ball but easy fix. Love how he dips his shoulder to avoid pressure at the precisely right time and squares back up to his target on the run. Everyone is worried about how his skill-set would work in this offense but UFM has proven time and time again, he will mold his scheme to the most talented players he has (see Hyde flourishing here).

Also I think he flashes plenty of ability to avoid the rush and keep the play alive...with the weapons he will have here, that is all he needs to do. Really throws the ball on the run as well as I have seen and makes quick decisions when its there. If we want someone to run the read, they will be available to rotate in (see Cardale and Barrett, plus we have offered a slew of dual-threat '15 guys). I like the idea of having such a prolific passers and with his lightning release, velocity, and accuracy I think he could have a world of fun with Marshall, Clark, Wilson, Lattimore, etc. down the road. The quicker the ball gets in their hands, the more time they have to do their work. He can throw the deep ball too and get it to our vertical guys, plus has great touch to get it to our go-up-and-get-it guys (see Adrews below hopefully, and Blacknall if we can pull him off). UFM wouldn't have offered him immediately if he didn't see the fit...imo he is just too great of a talent to pass on and I think Scout has it right with a 5 star rating.

Throw in the fact that getting Allen would likely get us Andrews too and I am ecstatic...the two have a great rapport already and Andrews is one of my favorite offensive players of this class.

I like your enthuism towards allen, but, imo, when thinking of pure pocket qbs in the urban meyer offense i picture the john brantley fiasco. Maybe there was more to that story but I just try and picture going from an incredibly athletic qb to one who sits in the pocket and my fears of him not suiting this offense come up. Maybe and hopefully I'm wrong and I have no problem with that but like others I saw barker and Harris first and also hasn't Allen's arm been questioned? Still very early and a lot of time to prove me wrong. Interested in hearing your opinion on my flawed view
