Allen is about 6 feet 2 inches and 190 pounds. It is considered a three-star prospect (out of five) by some experts and four stars by others lion safety.
Allen also took place scholarship offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Maryland, Pitt, Clemson, Georgia Tech and others.
It is ranked as the No. 24 safety in the nation and the No. 5 overall player in Maryland, according to 247Sports.
"I chose them because they limit scholarships, lion safety chose me," said Allen 247Sports. "When the security involved in the last class and fill in the blanks, still chose me."
The Nittany Lions have received their first verbal commitment from a defensive back last Friday at Coatesville athlete Daquan Worley.
