Jeffrey Allison 2019 NFL Draft Profile<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Born in Miami, FL, Jeffrey Allison<\/strong> would eventually attend Langston Hughes High School. Allison was a dual-sport athlete, competing in track and field and football all four years of high school. On the gridiron, Allison was an intimidating linebacker that had a nose for finding the football. As a junior in 2014, he led his team with 144 tackles and played alongside fellow linebacker prospect D’Andre Walker<\/strong>, who played at Georgia. As a senior, Allison recorded 121 tackles, eight tackles for a loss, three sacks, two fumble recoveries and one interception. He was named to first team All-City as well as All-Region.<\/p>\n

At the end of his senior season, Allison verbally committed to Western Kentucky. But after a few months of rethinking things, Allison de-committed from Western Kentucky and signed his letter of intent with Fresno State. As a freshman for the Bulldogs, Allison saw most of his action on special teams and finished with 21 tackles in 12 games. Before his sophomore season, Allison changed his uniform to number nine to honor his two cousins that were killed in a car accident during his freshman year.<\/p>\n

That following season, Allison started 14 games at inside linebacker for the Bulldogs defense and led the team with 126 tackles. He also recorded 5.5 tackles for loss, two sacks and two forced fumbles while being named the Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Week twice for a 10-tackle performance against San Diego State and a 14-tackle, one sack performance against BYU. In 2018, Allison took it up a notch and recorded 132 tackles in 14 games, which was good for 11th most in the FBS. He added six tackles for loss and two interceptions on the way to being named the Mountain West Defensive Player of the Year and to the First team All-Mountain West. Allison declared for the NFL Draft at season’s end.<\/p>\n
