Nixa native and former Iowa State Cyclone Chase Allen has signed with the Chicago Bears.
Allen went undrafted in the 2022 NFL Draft and signed with Chicago shortly after as a free agent.
In 2021, the Cyclone tight end was Second Team All-Big 12.
FROM IOWA STATE:
Allen was a reliable six-year member of the Cyclone football program, earning four Second Team All-Big 12 honors (2017, 2019, 2020, 2021) in his career. Allen was a key player in the rise of Iowa State in the college football landscape, becoming one of just three players in school history to play in five bowl games.
The Nixa, Missouri, native finished his career playing in 59 games and making 34 starts. Allen had 74 receptions, 810 receiving yards and six touchdowns. Both of his reception and receiving yard totals rank sixth all-time among ISU tight ends.
Iowa State head coach Matt Campbell on Allen: “Chase Allen is one of the true pillars of this era of Iowa State football. He cares about Iowa State and poured himself into this University. He’s sacrificed a lot to make a difference at Iowa State and we couldn’t be happier for Chase.”
