Elk River Elks OL Cameron Allen Commits to Texas Tech
Cameron Allen, a 6-foot-4, 275-pound offensive lineman from the Elk River Elks, has committed to play for the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Allen, a Class of 2027 prospect, chose the Big 12 program over other Division I offers. The Elk River Elks' standout lineman cited the Red Raiders' aggressive 3-4 defensive scheme as a key factor in his decision, noting it will challenge him to improve his pass-blocking skills. Allen also expressed excitement about the opportunity to compete for a starting spot on the Red Raiders' line, which graduated several key players from last season's roster. Additionally, Allen praised Texas Tech's strong academic program, which offers a range of engineering and business majors. Allen previously held offers from several Big 12 and Power Five programs, including Iowa State and Purdue, before committing to the Red Raiders in June 2026.
