Seven-on-Seven play is a breeze

Now that we got that obligatory Lonely Island “Jack Sparrow” reference out of the way, 2016 QB commit Jack Allison enjoyed a weekend of 7-on-7 drills drawing rave reviews from national analysts and coaches.

“It’s been going really well. I had surgery, and just coming off of that. And playing in 7-on-7, I’ve been throwing well, that’s just so exciting to see myself getting better everyday,” says Allison.

Allison underwent ankle surgery in late November, but is already back on the field. His performance this past weekend earned him an invite to the Under-Armour All America game in January, where he’ll join fellow Cane commits Sam Bruce and Dionte Mullins.

“The doctor said it would take a little bit longer… but I went for a check-up and he said I’m ahead of schedule. And it’s great, I went to the doctor (Wednesday) morning, and it felt awesome, so, I’m blessed. It’s awesome- it’s awesome… to have it heal so quickly.”

Three “awesome’s” in one quote. That sums up the Jack Allison-mindset. A positive, affable leader, Allison was one of the Canes first commits in the 2016 class, and has been rock solid throughout.

“I just wanted to commit. I wanted to find a college that was the best fit for me. And seeing other schools, and seeing Miami, I just fell in love with it when I got on the campus. So then I just knew it was the right thing for me. “

Like in the 2014 recruiting cycle, when the Canes were able to land a commitment from Brad Kaaya early in the process, getting Allison on board has allowed him to lead the newest incoming class.

“Me knowing I was going to commit to Miami, it was like why wait until Signing Day, and why not commit now. And maybe that would create a catalyst for other recruits to commit there also.”

Allison has a strong relationship with offensive coordinator James Coley, who was one of the coaches who helped lead his recruitment. The 6’5, 200-pound pro-style quarterback says Miami’s style fits his game.

“Every time I go for film with Coach Coley, and talk about plays, the offense that they run is exactly what I want. I’m not running the ball, I’m throwing the ball, getting it to athletes, letting them make plays.”

Despite living closer to UF than Miami, the Palmetto High star has long admired the Canes.

“All my life, I liked Miami, and just to see the tradition there, and all the NFL players there- it’s ridiculous. And then, I want to be a part of that group- because it’s such a prestigious program in my eyes. So it’s an honor to think that next year, like a couple months, I’ll be there. I’m excited.”

As of now, Allison is undecided on what he plans to study at Miami, but was clear when describing what Canes fans can expect when he steps on campus.

“On the field, they’re going to get a player that would do anything to win, that hates losing. And a competitor.”

And a message to fellow recruits looking to join the nation’s top-class: “The program is going to be dangerous in a couple years… it’s an exciting place to be right now.”
