Allen is a 6-6, 266, redshirt Sophomore defensive lineman from Albuquerque, NM. He played in 6 games last year with 4 tackles and 1 sack against Utah. Allen got a lot of quality time in the defensive line rotation this spring and is one of the guys the coaches hope can give them a stronger D-line and improved pass rush.
94 is also the longest punt
return in Arizona history. Jackie Wallace
returned the ball 94 yards against ucla in 1971 to set a record that will be pretty tough to beat.

Wasnt that the longest punt return? Wallace was a corner who also returned punts.
Would love to see more guys step up on the DLine. Guys like Allen, Banda and Griffen could provide great depth

Good catch. Longest UA punt 84 yds - Bill Hargis 1930.
Keenyn Crier had a 83 yarder 2007
Looks like Jackie Wallace is UA's career TDs by Returns leader (kicks / Punt) and UA's career TDs on Punt return leader, Also UA's season Interceptions leader with 11 picks in 1971 (2nd in career INTs). Wow, what a player, what a career!

You are right. That is what I get for posting too early.
