Buckle up, folks, here’s a recap of offensive lineman Dejon Allen’s frenetic week:

Allen completed his University of Hawaii football career at the end of the regular-season finale on Saturday, was named most valuable player for offense at the team banquet on Sunday, accepted an invitation to the Jan. 20 East-West Shrine Game on Tuesday and, on Wednesday, was named to the All-Mountain West Conference first team.

“It’s been a crazy experience,” Allen told the Honolulu Star-Advertiser in a telephone interview. “I never thought in a million years I’d be in this situation.”

Allen was the lone Rainbow Warrior selected to the first team. Running back Diocemy Saint Juste, who set the school’s regular-season rushing record with 1,510 yards in 2017, and middle linebacker Jahlani Tavai, who averaged 10.3 tackles per game, were named to the second team.

Defensive end Meffy Koloamatangi and defensive tackle Viane Moala received honorable mention.

A surprising omission was free safety Trayvon Henderson, who is widely regarded as one of the Warriors’ top prospects for the 2018 NFL Draft. Henderson will play in the Jan. 27 Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala.

John Estes, who helped coach the UH offensive line, also believed Allen should have been named to the 2016 first team. Allen was on the second team last year despite relinquishing one sack on a run-pass-option play. This year, Allen did not permit a defender he faced to record a sack on a designed pass play.

“The one thing that jumped out on film is (Allen) finishing (defenders), playing to the whistle and not taking any plays off,” Estes said. “He really wanted it. He wanted to be a great player. He wanted to leave a mark on this school and this conference. He pushed himself to get better.”

After taking a bridge year to meet NCAA eligibility, Allen joined the Warriors in June 2013 … as a defensive lineman. He bounced between offense and defense as a redshirt in 2013, then played guard for two years and left tackle the past two seasons. He also was used as a short-yardage lineman on defense this past season. Allen played in 50 UH games, starting 49.

“I put in a lot of hard work over the last five years I’ve been here on and off the field,” Allen said. “When a coach is not watching, I’ve been in the weight room or running or doing extra stuff. I’ve definitely been working hard since I’ve been here.”

In his five UH seasons, he has played under seven play-callers and three line coaches. Still, he has made a smooth transition from defense to offense and then from guard to blind-side blocker. Allen credited the skills learned when he played flag football in middle school.

“I was playing running back, fullback, cornerback,” Allen said. “It was flag football. It wasn’t with shoulder pads. But the footwork drills helped me to this day. It helped when I started playing offensive line. I can have great footwork with power.”

He said he gained weight while working at his family’s restaurant in Los Angeles. “I always went there and helped out with the food and catering,” Allen said. “As I helped out, I’m also eating, too.”

At 6 feet 3 and 295 pounds, Allen projects to play guard or center in the pros. But his long reach (34 inches) and quick punch are suitable at tackle.

“Dejon is extremely athletic, one of the more athletic lineman I’ve been around,” associate head coach Brian Smith said. “He’s really great in pass protection, and physical in the run game. His versatility is what will make him very attractive in the second level. He can play all three positions.”
