Allen got big on his own. Looked like a DT/DE at the Army AA game as opposed to an OLB/DE
He was like 240 at that game. Besides a lot of players get big/fat on their own. That's why the health coordinator and strength and condition coach are there.
To get those players to look/be what the staff wants them to look/be.

He wasn't too fat or out of shape. He was just bigger. He added a ton of muscle his senior year. If he had been out of shape, he wouldn't have gotten playing time as a true freshman.
4 years ago we might've at least started him out at OLB. But we appear to be moving away from jumbo OLBs and toward smaller, quicker OLBs (Evans, Miller, Brown) and at least a some smaller more explosive DEs (Allen, Hand) to combat HUNH.
My basic point is that we didn't add a ton of weight to Allen and turn him into a DE, he was a DE from the first day of practice.
