Before signing with the Philadelphia Eagles and before running in the Rio and Tokyo Olympics, Devon Allen was a freshman at Oregon. As we go inside the NCAA Video Vault, we’ll take a look at Devon Allen’s breakthrough race in track and field.
Two-time Olympian Devon Allen won the 110m hurdle event at the 2014 NCAA track and field championships as a freshman. Also a wide receiver then on the Oregon football team, Allen had taken a hiatus from the gridiron since 2016 until the Philadelphia Eagles signed him in 2022.
