For 6-4, 230-pound tight end Dwayne Allen , the climb to becoming a top football player really started in the offseason before his sophomore season. The Terry Sanford (Fayetteville, N.C.) star, knowing he would be a starter his sophomore year, put in the time to be as prepared as possible for his new role. Now, as a senior, he has turned himself into one of the top tight end recruits in the country.
After averaging 22 yards per catch last season as a junior, Allen put in the time this offseason to improve his strength and speed.
