Southern Cal RB Allen declares for NFL Draft

USC RB Javorius Allen declares for NFL Draft



Dec 27, 2014; San Diego, CA, USA; USC Trojans running back Javorius Allen (37) celebrates after scoring a touchdown against Nebraska Cornhuskers in the 2014 Holiday Bowl. (Jake Roth-USA TODAY Sports) The list of underclassmen running backs declaring for the NFL Draft just keeps growing.


USC’s Javorius “Buck” Allen announced Saturday that he will forgo his final season of eligibility with the Trojans and pursue a career in the NFL. Allen ran for 1,489 yards and 11 touchdowns while showing his versatility as a pass-catcher with 41 receptions for 458 yards.


"This was a tough decision for me,” Allen said in a statement. “I went home to Florida and talked it over with my family. I am proud to have been the first one in my family to have gone to college, and I've been blessed to say I played football in college. Now I'm ready to take it to the next level. Every kid dreams of this moment.”


The 6-foot-1, 220-pound Allen ran for 100 yards or more in 13 of USC’s last 19 games and was named first team All-Pac 12 for his efforts this season.


"Buck is a true Trojan and we wish him well,” said USC head coach Steve Sarkisian. “He is not only a good football player, but a fine young man. We are grateful for what he did at USC. We asked a lot of Buck this year and he came through with an All-Pac-12 season. We know he can do more of the same in the NFL."


On limited carries, Allen ran for just 137 yards in the first eight games of the 2013 season, but became the Trojans’ feature back down the stretch. He ran for 648 yards in the Trojans’ final six games to finish with 785 yards and 14 scores on the year.


He also ran for 32 yards as a freshman in 2012.


In addition to Allen, Boise State’s Jay Ajayi, Indiana’s Tevin Coleman, South Carolina’s Mike Davis, Wisconsin’s Melvin Gordon, Georgia’s Todd Gurley, Colorado State’s Dee Hart, Miami’s Duke Johnson, Florida’s Matt Jones, Mississippi State’s Josh Robinson, Texas A&M’s Trey Williams and Alabama’s T.J. Yeldon have all announced their intention to declare for the 2015 draft.


The deadline to file declaration papers with the league is Jan. 15.

Ohio State redshirt QB Stephen Collier did his best Marcus Mariota impression this week



When Ohio State backup quarterback Stephen Collier returned to his locker in Columbus, Ohio, this week, Marcus Mariota was waiting for him.


Someone — he still doesn’t know who — placed a cardboard cutout of Mariota in his locker to kickoff what would be a week of intense film study for the redshirt, who had been tasked with emulating the opposing quarterback every week this season.


Teammates also started calling him Marcus to help him stay in character.


“It’s been kind of a fun deal,” Collier said during media day in Dallas on Saturday. "I'll just be around the dorm and everybody's like, 'Sup Marcus.' I get the gist now, it's just funny."


But pretending he’s the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback off the field has been a far easier challenge than actually becoming him on it. Collier, who has been studying film since the team returned from Ohio, said the Mariota’s unique combination of being an effective runner and passer has been a challenge, but that he’s drawn on some of the other quarterback’s he’s imitated this season as a guide.


“It’s been an everyday affair,” Collier said of studying Mariota. “Obviously been watching him. I can’t even say the amount of hours, but it’s been a lot for sure.


“Between Connor Cook’s passing and Keenan Reynolds from Navy, who obviously did a great job of running, those are two separate deals, but Marcus has them booth. So that’s probably been the hardest.”


Collier’s role as the opposing quarterback has been integral to the Buckeyes success this season and it’s a role he takes seriously because he knows that’s how he can help contribute to the team’s success. Even with all of the injuries at quarterback, Collier will not see the field. The coaching staff has agreed to keep his redshirt intact even if starter Cardale Jones is stricken with injury during the national championship game.


“I’m all for it,” Collier said of preserving his redshirt. “Obviously, if this happens n Game 3 or something, that’s a different situation, but to burn it over one game I mean, it wouldn’t be advantageous. But, I mean, if I had to do it, I definitely would.”


But for now, Collier is happy helping the defense prepare for the opposing quarterback and he thinks this week might have been his finest work.


"I think I did a good job," he said.
