Teddy Allen

Teddy Allen is coming to West Virginia after he was named the best high school player in the state of Nebraska, by Gatorade He hails from Mesa, Arizona but went to Boys Town High School in Nebraska.

At 6-foot-5, 225 pounds, Allen won’t be pushed around by the big guys in the Big 12. He can hold his own in the paint and body up anybody he is defending. He will also shine on offense because of his scoring ability. He was one of the highest scoring prep players in the country by averaging more than 30 points per game.

West Virginia can also use some depth down low and Allen will provide that now and in the future.
