Grimsley Whirlies' Hunter Allen Makes History with Power 4 Offer
Hunter Allen's 4.38 40-yard dash at the 2026 NCHSAA Combine caught the attention of college scouts, but it was his dominant performance at the 2026 Shrine Bowl that earned him a Power 4 offer. The 6-foot-1, 180-pound wide receiver from the Class of 2025 made history as the first player from Grimsley High School to receive a Power 4 offer. Allen's impressive showing at the Shrine Bowl, where he hauled in five receptions for 85 yards, solidified his position as one of the top receivers in the state. He has also drawn interest from several other top programs. As the Whirlies prepare for the upcoming season, Allen's development will be closely watched. Scouts are looking to see how he adapts to the team's new offense and whether he can maintain his elite speed and agility throughout the season.
