Wisconsin class of 2021 signee S Braelon Allen discusses possibly moving to ILB this fall

Wisconsin football’s class of 2021 finished at No. 15 in the country and in all likelihood will go down as the best class in program history.

Now, heading into spring and summer ball, Badger fans get to see the class finally take the field as early enrollees and the rest of the group file onto campus.

One of the best prospects of the group is four-star ILB/S Braelon Allen, finishing the recruiting process ranked No. 216 in the country and No. 3 in the state of Wisconsin.

Initial projections saw the talented recruit playing safety alongside Hunter Wohler for the Badgers, though a recent postgame interview could signal a change in that logic.

Here is Allen talking to NBC 26 reporter Rachel Hopmayer after his game on Thursday:

“It’s all about getting this film out from the season,” Allen said. “To get a better gauge on where I fit best in [Wisconsin’s] defense. It’s been safety for the longest time, but right now I think they’re starting to think that I’ll move to inside linebacker.”

When asked about what he feels about the possible move, Allen said “I just want to play. Wherever I can get on the field the fastest and make the biggest impact for my team.”

The Fond Du Lac High School standout is yet to arrive in Madison. When he does, where the program has him play is worth watching.

But no matter whether it’s at safety or inside linebacker, his instant impact potential is undeniable.
