LORMAN, Miss. – Alcorn State University quarterback
Aaron Allen showed his remarkable athleticism and prowess as he confidently won the HBCU Pigskin Showdown MVP award on Dec. 30 in the all-star contest.
Allen served as the quarterback for Team Godfather leading the squad on three scoring drives to a 21-15 victory over Team Gunslinger. His play also helped Alabama A&M wide receiver, Terrell Gardner, snap up the game's Offensive MVP when he threw for a 60+ yard touchdown.
During the 2023 season, Allen was the starting play caller for the Braves and finished the season with 194 completions for 2,265 yards and 15 touchdowns. The Braves were 7-4, overall, and 6-2 in Southwestern Athletic Conference play.
The HBCU Pigskin Showdown is an All-Star football game created to give Historically Black College & University (HBCU) draft eligible football players an opportunity to showcase their talents in front of decision makers from professional football teams. The HBCU Pigskin Showdown will be a week of showcasing talent for National Football League (NFL) scouts and coaches from all professional leagues while celebrating African American heritage by way of historic sites within the Mobile, AL area.
