He holds a BA from the University of Montana, where he also played and made significant contributions for the Grizzlies.

As Coach Allen steps into the helm, he shares the following: “I am grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Head Football Coach at Concordia Lutheran High School and thankful for the trust placed in me to lead this program. I look forward to building on the strong foundation already in place and continuing to develop young men who pursue excellence in the classroom, on the field, and in their faith. My goal is to help create a program that reflects the mission of our school, one that values discipline, character, teamwork, and service while competing at a high level. I am excited to partner with our players, families, faculty, and community as we prepare for the year ahead, and I look forward to connecting with many of you in the coming weeks. Thank you for your continued support of Concordia and our student-athletes. Go Saders!” - Coach Allen
