Dylan Allen Offense-Defense Youth All-American

Dylan has attended offense-defense camp for the past 3 summers.  The past two years he was awarded for his strong skills at the camps.  In 2010, Dylan was awarded Defensive MVP, and this year he was awarded for being the Best QB in the camp, which is the highest award for the camp because this player also receives the Peyton Manning Gatorade Award. 

Last year Dylan traveled to Myrtle Beach, SC for the Youth All-American Bowl.  This was Dylan's first game of contact football in his entire life.  He ended up playing Defensive Tackle, and had 2 tackles in his game.  Dylan had a great experience, and found out that he can play with some of the best youth football players in the nation.

Dylan's confidence level shot up due to that experience, and carried over into all the sports he played after.  In wrestling he was 16-1.  In baseball he led his team at pitcher, and was the best hitter.  In his first year of Little Grizzly football he played QB, RB, and MLB.  He led his team in tackles with 56, and was awarded Defensive MVP for the team.  Dylan is an extremely hard runner when he has the ball, and he really enjoys running people over.  He is not a juker that is for sure. 

This year Dylan will travel to Dallas, TX to play in the Youth All-American Bowl, which will be held in Dallas Cowboy Stadium.  This will be a huge experience for Dylan!  Dylan now has some game experience under his belt, so it will be interesting to see how well he competes against the best. 

We are starting our fundraising effort to get Dylan to Dallas.  Big D is going to the Big D!  We have many options for people to support him-from braided bread to bunco.  We are so thankful for all the support Dylan has received that has allowed him to get better at a sport that he loves.  This experience in Dallas will be huge for his future success, and anyway that you help you can be assured that you are helping a boy reach his dream. 

Thanks for your support!  Follow this blog to keep up to date on our fundraising progress, and Dylan's experience in Dallas.
