Miami adds Safety Briton Allen

[OrangeBowlMagic]

Interesting. Think he’s a Florida kid originally. Anyone know anything about him?

No clue. What I do hope is that 1-2 of our CB room is willing to play safety. If not, we won’t be at our full potential

He went to Lake Highland Prep (just north of downtown Orlando) before heading to IMG for his senior year.

Enrolled at Southen Cal in January 2019, so his two major injuries have obviously bought him more eligibility.

Consensus 3-star (#433 overall) as a high school student, looks like he has been derailed by injuries.

Smart pickup. He’s been a core ST player at both places. If he can take all the ST snaps and the actual Safety rotation can be used strictly for defensive possessions then that improves the depth dramatically.

Depth doesn’t hurt. Especially for practice.

**** good point right there.

We can use him to take out QBs with head shots

Really excited how this staff has attacked special teams in the portal.

True.

His highlights show he isn’t afraid of contact and plays downhill a lot. Against Notre Dame and Jeremiah Love he maybe a better play than say Markeith Williams.

if the knee injuries haven’t robbed him of too much speed/agility then he should be a nice depth piece

He has been in the transfer portal since last December.

Imagine how differently we’d be viewing the safety room if zaquan would’ve lived up to expectations and if we’d have landed Pickett

Played STs at Utah.

Solid depth addition

Zaquan would have been the perfect big nickel in this new system.

Welcome aboard. It'd be nice to get a similar addition to the DT room.

I saw a tweet say if he was to stay the next 2 years.. he would have completed his 8th year.. wow
