78: Raekwon Allen, OL (Sr.) — Tennessee State
TSU had a very talented offensive line last season. All-Ohio Valley Conference First Teamer Chidi Okeke recently signed a rookie free agent contract with Washington.
Also on that line was Allen, an All-Conference Second Team performer.
Allen, at 6-foot-3 and 330 pounds, started nine games after playing his first two years of college ball at Georgia Military College.
He's a superb athlete at his size and a name to know in the FCS this year.
