We are incredibly lucky to be able to work with some of the best players in the game at our camps. One of those players is Jonathan Allen. Allen is a defensive tackle for the NFL's Washington Commanders. He played college football at Alabama and was absolutely dominant over his 4-year college career. He was a three-time First-Team All-SEC selection, a unanimous All-American in 2016, SEC Defensive Player of the Year in 2016, and a National Champion in 2015. He was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft by the Washington Commanders in 2017. Jonathan has recorded 33.5 sacks, 329 tackles, 51 tackles for loss, 2 forced fumbles and 1 safety. He has also become a team leader and captain for the Commanders.
After an amazing 2022 season, Allen was named the starting defensive tackle for the NFC in the 2022 Pro Bowl. The nod is the first time Allen has been selected to the NFL's annual All-Star game in his five-year career. Allen said. "Obviously, it was a childhood dream to do that. I was very happy, blessed and honored to be able to say I'm going to the Pro Bowl."
When asked how it feels to be selected, "I think it gives me a little sense of validation," Allen said. "But now, the next challenge is to continue to play at a high level [and] not let my play drop. It's definitely a milestone that I accomplished and I'm proud of but definitely not satisfied yet."
We are proud to be able to work with such an incredible player for another summer. Jonathan continues to not only impress us on the gridiron but also make an impression on each and every one of our campers. Do not miss you opportunity to work with one of the best in the game is this summer at George Mason University, in Fairfax VA, July 16-19th.
