Recruiting 2014: Brian Allen

Here we go folks! The Spartans are definitely starting to roll on the 2014 recruiting class. They just picked up a commitment from Brian Allen, one of the top centers in the country.

He is about the same size as Jack Allen, his brother (6'2" and about 270 lbs.) and about as well-regarded - 3 stars to all the sites that have rated him.  So let's look at his video:

Allen looks very impressive.  He has great burst, strength, relentlessness, and intelligence. Perhaps he is not considered a 4-star recruit because he plays center or because he is smaller, or perhaps because he will be upgraded to 4 stars during his senior season.  I don't know.  But Allen is a great commit, and Spartan fans should be excited.

Allen's commitment now gives the Spartans 2 of the 4 or 5 offensive linemen they are going to need for this class.  With Allen, this o-line class is off to a strong start.  Indeed, Allen's commitment has the whole 2014 class off to a strong start.  The Spartans now have 5 total commits and all 5 of them are solid to impressive.
