Bryan Allen Jr. goes by "BJ". He is the unquestioned defensive leader for one of the state's best high school programs. Not only did Allen help Aledo earn its 10th state title in 2020, he was also named the Class 5A State defensive player of the year for his efforts. Allen was named district newcomer of the year as a sophomore at Aledo, after having spent his freshman year at Fort Worth Brewer. Notably, Allen was also named district newcomer of the year as a freshman while at Brewer. Area high school coaches claim Allen is one of the most instinctive defensive players they've ever played against. His parents are Bryan Allen Sr. and Tiffany Allen. Allen says he enjoys playing video games when he’s not on the field.
