July 21, 2018
Jake Allen combined a 4.2 GPA with a state championship at St. Thomas Aquinas before signing with Florida.

Jake Allen carries a 4.2 GPA while quarterbacking St. Thomas Aquinas to state championships. Intelligence defines his game: he reads defenses quickly, makes calculated decisions, and relies on accuracy over arm strength.

Playing with 6-foot-5 receiver Trayvon Grimes gave Allen a reliable target. The combination helped Aquinas win another title in 2016. Allen signed with Florida, bringing his cerebral approach and championship pedigree to the Gators.
