Early life

[1] Allen committed to play college football at Iowa State over offers from Nebraska, Michigan, Missouri, and Minnesota. [2] The son of Terry Allen, a head coach at Northern Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri State, Chase gained notoriety in high school when he was shown on national television crying at the end of North Carolina's loss to Kansas in the 2013 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.

College career

Allen was a member of the Iowa State Cyclones for six seasons. [4] He redshirted his true freshman season while recovering from injuries suffered after being hit by a car shortly before his first year at Iowa State. [5] Allen played in all 13 of Iowa State's games with nine starts during his redshirt freshman season and was named second-team All-Big 12 Conference primarily on his blocking ability. He played in eight games while missing five due to injury as a redshirt sophomore and caught eight passes for 84 yards. [6]

As a redshirt junior, Allen played in all 13 of the Cyclones' games and had 17 receptions for 167 yards and two touchdowns and was again named second team All-Big 12. [7] He repeated as a second team all-conference after catching 19 passes for 236 yards and two touchdowns in his redshirt senior season. Allen used the extra year of eligibility granted to college athletes in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and returned to Iowa State for a sixth year. [8] In his final season, he caught 26 passes for 284 yards and two touchdowns and was named second team All-Big 12 for a fourth time. [9]
