DeShawn Allen Commits to Air Force
Highland Springs Springers offensive lineman DeShawn Allen has committed to play football at the United States Air Force Academy, the school announced Thursday. Allen, a 5A lineman in the Class of 2026, chose the Falcons over other Division I programs, citing the team's need for depth on the interior line and the opportunity to compete immediately. The Springers' run-heavy scheme, which Allen has been a key part of throughout his high school career, is similar to Air Force's triple-option attack, which he believes will allow him to excel. Allen also praised the academy's academic program, noting that it will provide him with the resources and support he needs to succeed both on and off the field. Allen had previously committed to Virginia Tech but reopened his recruitment in April.
