The All American American Olympian Devon Allen

[Across The Field]

Ohio State is going to produce the best college football Olympian this year, and he isn't some sissy runner.

 

[TheDayMan]

Yes and an Oregon football player is going to the Olympics.

Oregon Ducks

 

[TheDayMan]

He'll probably get Zika, and violent shits from the water. How much of the season you suppose he'll have to miss?

 

[TexasExes98]

not a starter and didn't contribute much (9 rec 96 yds 0TD's). Ducks won't miss him if he gets the Zika. But in all seriousness, good luck to him and hope he brings home the gold.....

 

[fishinabarrel]

Natty on a platter?

 

[Bamabino]

You forgot Forrest Gump I think. Wasnt he championship ping pong player at the Olympics?

Wow, this was a drudging usually reserved for my posts.

Coming off injury from 14 when he had 41 catches for 684 yards and 7 TD.

We're all in this together on this blue speck in the night sky.......





........ so:

 

[4down20]

Weak.

Weak how?

I use to drive by a memorial to him all the time in Lawrence county out past Danville(ok fine, it was signs giving directions to it).

I can see Ohio claiming him as well and it's fair game since he moved and went to college there, but he was born in Alabama and many of his family who are still there are/were extremely proud of it.

Probably about the only good thing that area has produced if I'm being honest.

Go get that gold Devon. Great person and athlete by all accounts.

Why would the VB team need a wrestler?

[The Derski]

How many Olympians has Alabama produced?

Devon Allen is from Arizona...

 

[The Derski]

Way to represent Arizona Devon!

Seriously local news stations have been airing his family story the past couple weeks. Apparently his dad cannot afford to go to Brazil to support his son. The community is helping fund his trip.

Which is interesting now that I think of it because Allen attended Brophy Prep in Phoenix which is a private all boys Jesuit school with a 4 year college acceptance rate of 97%.

Just like Devon Allen, she left the state as soon as she had the opportunity.
