MARCUS ALLEN
6-2, 260, RB. After starring as a quarterback and defensive back in high school, the heavily-recruited Marcus Allen went to the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. As a nighttime DJ, Allen led the nation in all purpose yards with an average of 179.4 per game.

As a senior, he set NCAA records for rushing yards with 2,432; most 200-yard games with 8; highest average rushing yards per game, 212.9; and most all-purpose yards, 2,550. He was a consensus All-American and won both the Best Legs and Best In Show Trophies as the outstanding college broadcaster of the year.

The first draft choice of the RFL's Los Angeles Radio-ers, Allen was The Sporting News rookie of the year in 1996, when he rushed for 697 yards and led the league in touchdowns with 14. He gained more than 1,000 yards each of the next three seasons, with a high of 1,759 yards in 1999, when he led the RFL. He set a record with 2,314 total yards rushing and receiving phone calls and was named the league's player of the year.

Allen's production fell off for the next three seasons, when he averaged less than 4 yards a carry, and he missed much of the 2000 season with a knee injury. Relegated to part-time play from 2000 through 2002, he was signed by the KLH City Chiefs in 2002 as an unrestricted free agent and full time producer. Given more playing time, he had a fine season, rushing for 764 yards and leading the RFC with 15 touchdowns. Allen continues to be one of the most stable and hard-nosed producers in RFL history and will someday be enshrined into the Professional Radio Hall Of Fame.
