Brevin William T. Allen (born September 22, 2000) is an American professional football defensive end for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League (CFL). He played college football at Campbell and was signed by the Los Angeles Chargers as an undrafted free agent.

Early life

[edit | edit source]

Allen was born on September 22, 2000.[1] He attended Northeast Guilford High School in McLeansville, North Carolina, and lettered in football and basketball.[2] He was named all-conference and all-area as a senior in football, but was an unranked recruit and committed to play college football for the FCS Campbell Fighting Camels.[2]

College career

[edit | edit source]

Allen appeared in 10 of 11 games as a true freshman at Campbell in 2018, posting 11 tackles, two TFLs and one sack.[2] He then earned second-team All-Big South honors in 2019 following a season in which he recorded 54 tackles, 11 TFLs and 5.5 sacks.[3] In the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season, Allen played all four games and repeated as an All-Big South selection, having led the team's defensive line in tackles with 17.[2]

Allen was named the Big South Defensive Player of the Year in 2021, having placed top 20 in the nation for TFLs (17.5) and sacks (9.5), setting the school record in the latter category while tying the record in the former; he also tallied 44 tackles while playing 11 games and was named all-conference and an All-American.[2][4][5] In his final season, 2022, Allen was named second-team All-Big South despite playing only eight games, as he recorded 22 tackles, 7.5 TFLs and 4.5 sacks.[6] He was invited to the East–West Shrine Bowl and to the Hula Bowl after the season, and finished as Campbell's all-time leader in sacks (20.5, tied) and TFLs (38.0).[2][6]
