Darius Allensworth currently works for Summit Sports and Entertainment, which represents athletes and influencers who are trying to achieve explosive career growth and build their personal brands, taking their public profiles to a higher level.
Clients for Summit include Quenton Nelson, Dezmon Patton, Jaquan Hardy, and UFC fighter Randy Costa, to name a few.
In part three of our Q&A series, I got to speak to Darius about his thoughts on former Cal coach Sonny Dykes and what it was like playing alongside Jared Goff, the quarterback for the Golden Bears under Dykes before Dykes went to SMU and later TCU. The TCU Horned Frogs, coached by Dykes, are currently unbeaten. Garrett Riley, the younger brother of USC head coach Lincoln Riley, is TCU’s offensive coordinator under Dykes.

Trojans Wire: What do you make of your former coach Sonny Dykes, who recruited you to Cal and is having success at TCU? He has them currently sitting at 8-0 and making a CFB Playoff run.
Allensworth: I’m super happy for him! They are in the hunt to play for a championship in his first season, that’s special.
Trojans Wire: What was it like playing with former Cal Bear star and current Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff?
Allensworth: Playing with Jared was a challenge because every day I knew I would be challenged in practice. It was purely fun, though, because I’m a competitor, so being challenged to your best abilties is fun to me.
Trojans Wire: Who was the toughest player you went up against at Cal?
Allensworth: The 2014 reicever core we had as a whole was insane, but I’d have to give it to Chris Harper, who played in the NFL from 2015-18 for the Patriots, 49ers and Jets. Harper is currently with the Montreal Alouettes in the CFL.
