Valor Christian's Tyler Allen Kicks His Way Back
Valor Christian Eagles kicker Tyler Allen made a game-winning 44-yard field goal as time expired in the 2024 semifinals, securing the Eagles' spot in the 5A state championship game. The Class of 2025 standout's clutch performance was a testament to his perseverance after suffering a season-ending ACL injury in the 2023 regular season. Allen spent the offseason rehabilitating and retraining, and his hard work paid off as he earned the starting kicker role for the 2026 season. At 6-foot-2, 180 pounds, Allen boasts a strong leg and accurate touch, making him a valuable asset to the Eagles' special teams unit. As Valor Christian looks to make a deep run in the 5A playoffs, scouts will be watching to see how Allen performs under pressure and if he can maintain his accuracy on longer field goal attempts.
