The art of subtweeting is real these days.

Nebraska and Michigan, two of three finalists for three-star tight end Chase Allen, traded blows on Wednesday after Allen told SB Nation that Jim Harbaugh tried to downplay the Huskers’ use of their tight ends during an in-home visit this week.

"They wanted to debunk anything I heard on my Nebraska visit." Allen said. “(Harbaugh) just talked about how tight ends are (actually) used in (Nebraska's) offense. He wanted to hear all about what Nebraska told me."

After Harbaugh’s take — according to Allen — was made public, Nebraska's official football account tweeted this video on Wednesday featuring its tight ends.





Needless to say it’s a direct shot at Michigan and the Wolverines’ recruiting tactics.

A Composite three-star, Allen is rated the 25th best player at his position nationally and sixth overall in the state of Missouri. At 6-foot-6, 220 pounds, Allen is a long and lanky target who could make an instant impact depending on the program he chooses.
