Rough Riders' Hunter Allen Ready to Rebound from ACL Injury
Hunter Allen's 2025 highlight reel is filled with highlight-reel plays, none more impressive than his 92-yard touchdown run against Lincoln High, a 11-man school in the 11AA classification. The Roosevelt Rough Riders' star running back was on pace for a breakout season before suffering a season-ending ACL injury in the fourth game. Now, Allen is back on the field, and he's earned the starting role heading into the 2026 season. The 5-foot-10, 190-pound junior has been working tirelessly in the offseason, rebuilding his strength and agility. Scouts are taking notice of Allen's determination and work ethic, and they're eager to see how he performs in game action. With his speed, vision and elusiveness, Allen is a threat to break big plays at any moment. Scouts will be watching for Allen to maintain his health and continue to develop his skills, particularly in pass protection and reading defenses.
