The Washington Huskies are getting an exciting prospect in Mountain Pointe High School safety Rylon Dillard-Allen, who is ranked as a four-star prospect and inside the nation’s top 200 recruits in the 2025 class by On3.
Over nine games in his senior season, Dillard-Allen tallied 65 tackles, 7 interceptions, a fumble recovery, and returned a kickoff for a touchdown, which earned him honors as 6A Central Region Defensive Player of the Year in Arizona on Wednesday. He also announced his intentions to sign with Jedd Fisch and the Huskies on December 4, when the early signing window opens.
Dillard-Allen committed to Washington in July after backing off of a pledge to Arizona State, choosing safeties coach Vinnie Sunseri over Alabama, Texas A&M, and UCLA. Listed at 5-foot-11 and 165 pounds, the Mountain Pointe High School product has some work to do to add muscle to his frame, but if he chooses to enroll early and can pack on some weight during offseason conditioning, his reported 4.29 40-yard dash speed could help him see the field early.
“In terms of the career he can have, he has somewhat of a similar play style to iconic former Husky Elijah Molden,” Huskies Wire’s Ben Glassmire said in his evaluation. “Dillard-Allen just wants to play downhill and hit ball carriers. Based on his play style, you would have no clue that he is on the smaller side for a defensive back. He is extremely physical but also takes deliberate angles to the ball that allow him to close space quickly.”
In what has turned into a promising class for Fisch’s coaching staff, Dillard-Allen has a high ceiling that the Huskies will hope to capitalize on once he arrives in Seattle.
