CHUCK ALLEN Defensive Tackle 1977 / 1980 Anderson, SC

Biography

Captain of the 1976 Shrine Bowl squad, Allen was a regular contributor from the time he stepped on to the Carolina campus. He started some as a true freshman in 1977, finishing seventh on the team in tackles and had five tackles and a sack against Miami of Ohio. Allen’s best game as a sophomore may have come in a 37-14 win over Wake Forest when he combined with Roger Woolbright on a sack and recovered a fumble. He was fifth on the team in tackles as a junior and had 12 tackles and a sack against Clemson. He also had three tackles for loss and a forced fumble against Oklahoma State. Allen was one of the team captains in 1980 and earned All-South Independent and honorable mention All-America honors. He broke up a Ben Bennett fourth-down pass at the USC 30 to help preserve a 20-7 win over Duke that year. He had a tryout with the Denver Broncos in 1982 before going on to a successful career running a law firm in Anderson. He became a member of the USC Board of Trustees in 2008.
