Elijah Allen Commits to Kansas State
Elijah Allen, a 2026 tight end from Brooklyn's Erasmus Hall, has committed to Kansas State University. Allen, a standout in the AA division, chose the Wildcats due to their ideal scheme fit for his skills. The Kansas State coaching staff plans to utilize his athleticism in their high-powered offense, which features a strong emphasis on the tight end position. Allen's commitment also provides an opportunity for him to contribute immediately, as the Wildcats' depth chart at tight end is currently thin. Additionally, Allen was drawn to Kansas State's strong academic program and the opportunity to pursue a degree in business. Allen previously held offers from several Power Five programs, including Penn State and North Carolina State, before ultimately choosing to commit to the Wildcats. He is expected to enroll at Kansas State in the fall of 2027.
