Armando Allen, Jr. (born April 30, 1989) is a former American football running back. He was signed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an undrafted free agent in 2011. He played college football at Notre Dame. He is currently an assistant coach at Texas Southern University.
Allen played high school football at Hialeah-Miami Lakes High School in Hialeah, Florida. A preseason fractured fibula ended his 2006 senior season before it ever began. However, he rushed for 1,095 yards and 12 TDs as junior in 2005, despite missing three games to injury. He was selected for 2007 U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio but did not participate because of his injury. Considered a four-star recruit by Rivals.com, Allen was listed as the No. 2 all-purpose back in the nation. He chose Notre Dame over offers from Tennessee, Duke and Florida.
He was once a participant on the MTV hit-show "Parental Control".
As a freshman, he started 4 games in which he recorded a team-best 1,176 all-purpose yards, averaging 98.0 yards per game. He was the second-leading rusher on the team with 348 yards on 86 carries. As a sophomore in 2008, he started 8 games in which he led the Irish in rushing with 585 yards on 134 carries (4.4 avg) and added three TDs. He also ranked second on the team with 50 receptions and tallied 355 receiving yards and two TDs. As a junior, he only played in 8 games (7 starts) because of injury, but he was still able to lead the Irish in rushing for second straight season with 697 yards and three TDs on 142 carries. In his final season as a senior, playing in only 8 games due to a hip injury, ranked second on the team in rushing with 514 yards on 107 carries (4.8) and added two touchdowns.
