The NFL Draft is eight days away. Until then, we will profile the Trojans most likely to hear their names called.Who will select the latest Trojan horse from Tailback U? Buck Allen is projected to be a mid-round pick after bursting onto the national landscape over the last year and a half.
Buried deep on USC's depth chart to start the 2013 season, Allen made the most of his chance when his number was finally called, scoring 27 touchdowns in his final 22 games at Troy. He was the Trojans leading rusher in each of the last two seasons, while also showing versatility as a receiver out of the backfield (63 catches for 710 yards and 2 TDs in 2013 and 2014 combined).
While this is a loaded class for running backs, Allen made an impression in the pre-draft process, posting a solid time in the 40-yard dash. Scouts like his size and his versatility because he is a true every down back.
