Christian Allen moves into a fulltime role with Akron this fall after spending the 2017 season with the Zips as the recruiting assistant. In his new role, he helps facilitate the day-to-day logistics of the program and assists in organizing the team’s recruiting effort.

A two-time All-State honoree and a first-team All-OVAC selection from Morgantown (W.Va.) High School, Allen led the Mohegans to a 10-3 record and advanced to the state semifinals as a senior. He finished fourth in voting for the state’s best defensive player while totaling 75 tackles, 12 sacks, four forced fumbles and one interception. He also caught five touchdown passes and rushed for two more.

A three-year letterwinner at Akron for head coach Terry Bowden, Allen was a fullback who appeared in 33 career games. A member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC), he was a nominee for the 2015 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team for his community service efforts. His older brother Jeff also played for the Zips (2013-14).

A native of Morgantown, W.Va., Allen earned a bachelor’s degree in sport management from Akron in Fall 2016. He is currently pursuing a master’s degree in sport science/administration from Akron.
