Early years

Allen was born in Dothan, Alabama to mother Casey, a journalist and his father Mason, a building operations vice-president.

Allen was a letterman and four-year varsity participant in track and field earning King High School a state championship in shot put and a regional championship in discus. He had top throws of 15.84 meters in the shot put and 47.66 meters in the discus throw. Surprisingly, Allen did not play football in high school, though his size and stature caused him constant questioning around entertaining the possibility of trying out for the team.

Allen quickly became a social media icon for the MSU football team after donning the unique look of an oversized neck roll under his jersey, giving him a very looming appearance to spectators and opposing players.
