Allen on his commitment to Alabama

Amari Allen went in-depth on his reasoning to chose the Tide with On3.

“I love the culture and the relationship I have built with the coaching staff,” he said. “They have the formula to get guys like me to the league and I trust them and think I can get there with them.”

What led to his trust with the Alabama coaching staff?

“The consistency and relationship I have built with them. Also being able to see them send multiple guys to the league that are like me shows that their formula works and I can trust them. They also came up to Green Bay the first day of in-house visits to visit me and my family. That meant a lot just showing me I was a priority.”

In his own words, what type of player is Alabama getting in Amari Allen?

“I would say I’m like a Swiss Army knife. I can do all. I can score, guard 1-4, pass, and get everyone involved. I’m a great teammate and love to see my guys win. I have a good IQ and am able to make reads out of the ball screen.”

He has a message for the fans.

“Alabama is going continue to be a top team in the country and I can’t wait to contribute.”
