Football: Allen declares for 2024 NFL Draft after three-year career at Wisconsin

Braelon Allen, star running back at the University of Wisconsin, has declared for the 2024 NFL draft. The 6-foot-2, 245-pound powerback finished his last season at UW this past Saturday against rival University of Minnesota — capping off a career with 3,494 rushing yards and 35 touchdowns.

He arguably put together his best performance of the year against the Golden Gophers — rushing for 165 yards while scoring two touchdowns in the process.

Only a junior, Allen made his mark at UW, becoming the face of the Badgers’ football program. Rushing for 984 yards and 12 touchdowns this season, he had another electrifying year despite battling injury.
