Fresh off a visit to Ohio State, the Wisconsin Badgers suddenly face stiff competition for running back Kingston Allen.
With the numbers Allen has been putting up this season, it should come as no surprise that other top schools are interested.
Head coach Luke Fickell and Co. would love to bring in Allen as their signature piece and give him a role similar to that of someone like Jonathan Taylor.
In order to do that, they have to make sure the Buckeyes don't flip him.
The nation's leading rusher & Wisconsin #Badgers commit Kingston Allen tallied 306 yards and 5 TDs in week 8.

- State record: 7 career 300-yard rushing games
- Just the 2nd player in state history with 100+ career rushing TDs
- 2,288 rushing yards & 43 TDs in 8 games
Unreal. https://t.co/rPg8qgs1nnpic.twitter.com/RveH5xLOqH
Allen officially committed to the Badgers on April 3, 2026, so now it's just a matter of how things are going with OSU.
According to Rivals' Mick Walker, Allen had a visit with the team in Week 6.
The Notre Dame Academy superstar posted about his Ohio State offer on Oct. 10, which marked his first post on his X account since June 18, when he tagged the Badgers in a video that included "#onwisconsin."
