ALLEN ON MICHIGAN STATE:
“I chose MSU because it’s like a family to me. Since the first day the staff started recruiting me they wanted me to know that it’s not just football, but that we’re all a family and that we’re in this together; we’re going to have your back. That was one of the most important things to me because that’s the type of program I am accustomed to, therefore, that is the type of program I want to go to.”
COACH TUCKER ON ALLEN:
"Kameron is a tall, long and athletic tight end that was very productive this fall as a pass catching threat. He’s got a wide catch radius, with soft hands, and he can extend and pluck, and he shows a great play-making ability once the ball is in his hands. They have isolated him on the outside and he has really sharpened his route-running skills, and is a big time threat in the red zone with eight TDs this year."
