We Are Jonathan Allen Days Away From Alabama Football

The college football offseason has been flying by and already, on June 6, college football nation sits at just 93 days away from the defending champion Alabama Crimson Tide kicking off its season against the Miami Hurricanes. The Crimson Tide's most recent superstar to don the jersey number 93 was defensive lineman, Jonathan Allen.

Allen came to Alabama as a 5-star recruit. He was the No. 2 outside linebacker and the No. 15 player in the 2013 recruiting class out of Stone Bridge High School in Ashburn, VA.
