Darius Allen: A Dual Threat for Dowling Catholic
Dowling Catholic's Darius Allen recorded 12 tackles for loss in 2025, a number that earned him a spot on the 4A All-State team. Off the field, Allen maintains a 4.0 GPA, a testament to his dedication to both academics and athletics. As a varsity starter at linebacker, Allen faces the challenge of balancing his on-field responsibilities with his academic pursuits. Despite the demands of his schedule, Allen has consistently demonstrated his ability to excel in both areas. With his impressive speed and agility, Allen is a force to be reckoned with on the field, and his academic achievements make him an attractive prospect for college scouts. As Dowling Catholic prepares for the upcoming season, Allen's performance will be closely watched, particularly his ability to read and react to opposing offenses. Scouts are looking for Allen to build on his impressive 2025 season and demonstrate his potential as a top-tier linebacker in the class of 2026.
