Allen's Ascension: Mentor's Noah Allen Makes History with Power 4 Offer
Mentor Cardinals cornerback Noah Allen has etched his name in the program's history books, becoming the first player from the school to earn a Power 4 offer from Ohio State. The 6-foot, 175-pound Class of 2025 standout has been turning heads with his shutdown coverage skills, allowing just 12 completions in 25 attempts (48%) over the past two seasons. Allen's impressive numbers are even more impressive considering the Cardinals compete in the highly competitive Lake Erie League, where teams often boast top-tier talent. The Power 4 offer is a testament to Allen's hard work and dedication, as he has consistently demonstrated the ability to make plays on the ball and limit opponents' scoring opportunities. Scouts are now watching to see how Allen adapts to the next level, particularly in terms of his ability to compete with bigger, faster receivers and his potential to contribute immediately as a true freshman.
