Jamestown (CSi) The University of Jamestown football coaching staff has announced the signing of Allen Jevning of Brainerd, Minn., who will join the Jimmies in the 2016 season.
Jevning, a 5’11″, 180 pound running back, was a first-team All-District and All-Section choice at Brainerd High School. He was also his team’s Offensive Player of the Year and team Most Valuable Player.
“Allen is exactly the type of student athlete that we want to add to our program,” said coach Randy Elenberger. “He excels in the classroom and on the field and comes from a very good program up in Brainerd, MN. He’s a hard-nosed player that never left the field and can play multiple positions as well as return kicks on special teams.
He’s a very good football player that plays physical and has an extremely high motor. We really like what he can do with the ball in his hands and we think he can be a very good running back for us in the future.
He’s very excited to be a Jimmie and proud to carry on the Jimmie tradition as his mother, Suzette, graduated from Jamestown College in 1989 with a degree in Elementary Education. We are very excited to welcome Allen and his family back to Jimmie Nation!”
Jevning plans to major in Business while at the University of Jamestown.
The University of Jamestown was established in 1883 and is ranked as a top regional school in both US News and World Report and The Princeton Review. The school features development of the whole person through its distinctive Journey to Success experience.
