Local recognition: 2026 Alabama returning player, postseason honoree, or ranked prospect
“Our 2026 linebacker room is one of the deepest and most versatile position groups on the team, giving the defense confidence that there is little drop-off regardless of who is on the field,” Trojans coach Kenny King said. “With a mix of intelligence, physicality, instincts and power, this group (Stevie Allen, Will Carr, Myles Hankins, Mikey Meier) brings a relentless mentality that sets the tone for the front seven. Competition has elevated every player, while their willingness to push one another has created a unit built on accountability and toughness. Their leadership extends beyond game nights, as they consistently challenge teammates in practice and demand a high standard of effort and preparation.” Allen, a 6-foot, 180-pound senior, recorded 75 total tackles, eight tackles for loss, two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown) and two forced fumbles across eight games in 2025. He has a 3.7 GPA.
