Chance Allen

Chance Allen jokes around during media day in August 2014. Allen has since transferred to Houston and was determined by the NCAA to be eligible to play immediately.

Former Oregon receiver Chance Allen can play immediately this fall for Houston after receiving a hardship waiver from the NCAA.



Houston announced the NCAA's ruling Wednesday afternoon. Allen has two years of eligibility remaining after transferring this offseason to the Cougars, who are close to his hometown of Missouri City, Texas. Allen took part in spring practices under new head coach Tom Herman.



A member of Oregon's 2012 recruiting class, Allen caught five career passes for 98 yards and a touchdown. He was one of three Duck receivers to leave the program in the offseason, though Keanon Lowe and Johnathan Loyd departed because of graduation.
