Keenan Allen Announcement
ByEverybody wants to know that what Keenan Allen has announced about himself and what to be announced, is there something about Cal or Chris McCain? . According to CalSportsDigest.com The press conference for safety Allen and Chris McCain went on without expected third participant Gabe King, and with the first two announcing for Cal.
The recruitment of ESPNU 150 athlete Keenan Allen (Greensboro, N.C./Northern Guilford) certainly has taken a lot of twists and turns down the stretch. What appeared to be a solid commitment to Alabama as recently as a couple of weeks ago, now appears to be anything but.
Sporting News’ No. 58 prospect, DE Gabe King, and No. 70 prospect, DB Keenan Allen, both signed with Cal this morning. Allen had been an Alabama commitment since November, but when his brother, Buffalo sophomore quarterback Zach Maynard, transferred and was on the market, Allen wanted to play with his brother. Alabama wouldn’t offer Maynard, so Allen dropped his pledge to the Crimson Tide.
In the week leading up to National Signing Day, word began to get out that Allen was considering Clemson. Last weekend, he reportedly visited California with his half-brother, quarterback Zach Maynard, who is transferring from the University of Buffalo.
Penn State was even being mentioned as a possible destination for Allen, the nation’s top-rated safety according to recruiting analysts for Scout.com and Rivals.com.
In this year’s recruiting class alone, Alabama is bringing in two four-star safeties, in-state prospects Jarrick Williams and Nick Perry. The Tide also snagged five-star cornerback DeMarcus Milliner, who at about 6-2 has a 50-50 chance of moving to free safety, according to Every.
