College Sports Wire recently unveiled their top 25 college football running back rankings for the upcoming 2023 season, and Wisconsin Badgers running back Braelon Allen earned a well-deserved spot near the top of the list. The Fond Du Lac native, entering his first season under the guidance of head coach Luke Fickell, was ranked an impressive fifth overall in the nation by Patrick Conn, a testament to Allen’s exceptional talent and potential.
Wisconsin Badgers Football Run Game
After two stellar seasons with Badgers football, where he accumulated an impressive 2,510 rushing yards and 33 rushing touchdowns, Allen now sets his sights on the 2023 campaign. This year brings new changes for the talented running back, as offensive coordinator Phil Longo and his dynamic “Air Raid” offense join the Badgers in Madison. This innovative offensive scheme, imported from Chapel Hill, is expected to provide new opportunities and open up the run game for the Wisconsin Badgers.
Allen’s remarkable performance in his early collegiate career, combined with his adaptability to the new offensive system, places him in a prime position to excel in the upcoming season. His powerful running style, agility, and knack for finding the end zone make him a force on the field.
Notably, in College Sports Wire’s rankings, Allen was listed as the second-highest-ranked running back, trailing only Michigan’s Blake Corum, who claimed the top spot. This recognition further solidifies Allen’s status as one of the nation’s premier running backs and positions him as a key playmaker to watch in college football this year.
