Allen was rated as a four-star recruit by ESPN, 247Sports.com, and Rivals.com.[3][4][5] Allen committed to play football at the University of Wisconsin–Madison on July 14, 2020, the college's first commit for the 2022 class.[6][7] On September 17, 2020, he announced he would be reclassifying to the 2021 recruiting class to enroll in college early.[8] He was initially recruited as a defensive player, possibly linebacker or safety, before ultimately ending up at running back.[6]

Allen played on special teams only for his first college game.[9] After the team started the season at 1–3, Allen began to see some snaps along with starting tailback Chez Mellusi.[9] Tailback redshirt freshman Jalen Berger left the team[9] and three running backs transferred away from the college.[10] Allen had his first 100-yard rushing performance in the fifth game against Illinois.[9] In early November, Mellusi had a season-ending injury as Allen was established as the team's starting running back.[9] In the 2021 Las Vegas Bowl against Arizona State, Allen rushed for 159 yards and was named the Las Vegas Bowl MVP.[11] On November 28, 2023, Allen announced his intent to enter the 2024 NFL Draft.
