Draft Analyst's Tony Pauline reports that Boston College junior DE Zach Allen will return to school for his final season of eligibility in 2018.
"Those close to the situation point to several reasons," Pauline writes, "including the fact that Allen, who comes from an accomplished family, has not graduated and is only 20 years old." The 6-foot-4, 280-pounder could potentially land as a top-45 pick if he did declare. This season, he registered 93 tackles (14.5 for loss), three sacks and three passes defended while playing in all 12 of Boston College's games.
