Panthers' Allen Earns Power 4 Offer, Sets Program Standard
Pomona's Austin Allen, a 5-foot-11 cornerback from the Class of 2026, has been making waves in the CHSAA 5A ranks with his impressive playmaking ability. Last season, Allen recorded 10 pass breakups and two interceptions, showcasing his ability to shut down opponents' top receivers. As the first player from the Panthers to earn a Power 4 offer, Allen's achievement sets a new standard for the program. The Power 4 schools, known for their elite recruiting classes, have taken notice of Allen's speed, agility and ball-hawking skills. With a strong summer camp performance, Allen has solidified his position as one of the top cornerbacks in the state. Scouts are now watching to see how Allen adapts to the increased level of competition and whether he can maintain his elite level of play throughout the season.
