Folkstyle career

[edit]

High school

[edit]

Allred was born in Anderson, Indiana and attended Shenandoah High School in Middletown, Indiana. As a freshman ('16–'17), he finished fifth in the IHSAA Semi-State Tournament but would win the Indiana Frosh-Soph state title at 170 pounds. As a sophomore ('17–'18), Allred suffered an injury during the football season delaying the start of his wrestling season.[1] He also bumped up to the 182-pound weight class. He would finish fifth at the IHSAA State Finals but win the ISWA State Finals.[2] During the offseason, Allred wrestled at 195 pounds and would win the USAW Junior/Cadets Nationals and the Fargo National Championships. As a junior ('18–'19), Allred would win all 35 matches and become the first wrestler at Shenandoah to win an Indiana state title.[3] As a senior ('19–'20), he would finish another undefeated season with 39 wins, becoming a back-to-back state champion at 195 pounds.[4] Allred finished his high school career with a total record of 146 wins and two losses (44–1, 28–1, 35–0, 39–0). He also ended his career with a 74-match winning streak. As of 2024, Allred has the most wins (146) and state titles (2) in Shenandoah history.

College

[edit]

On National Signing Day in November 2019, Allred committed to Mark Manning and the Nebraska Cornhuskers as the No. 1 ranked 195-pounder and No. 2 ranked overall wrestler in the state of Indiana.[5][6]

2020–21

[edit]

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Allred's freshman season was postponed to 2021. Nebraska would wrestle in just six meets with nine total opponents.[7] Allred would make his collegiate debut as an extra on January 8 against Minnesota, losing by decision to Dylan Anderson.[8] A week later, Allred would wrestle as an extra again against Iowa, winning his first collegiate match facing Connor Corbin by major decision.[9] Allred finished his true freshman season 1–1, but due to the COVID-19 eligibility rules, he did not use up any of his eligibility and would be considered a freshman for the 2021–22 wrestling season.[10]

2021–22

[edit]

Allred was redshirted during the 2021–22 season. Allred would compile a 3–0 Division I record and a 7–0 overall record. In the 2021 Daktronics Open, Allred wrestled unattached. In the semifinals, Allred would end up pinning the eventual All-American, Yonger Bastida of Iowa State. He finished the day with another pin, winning his first career in-season tournament. Allred also competed unattached in the 2022 Hastings Open, where he won all three matches via falls and earned gold for the second time at an in-season tournament.

2022–23

[edit]

Allred was named the 197-pound starter before the 2022–23 season.[11] He made his dual-meet debut on November 4, 2022, beating NDSU's Owen Pentz in sudden victory 4–2. In the 2022 Journeymen Collegiate Classic, Allred went 3–0, including a medical forfeit win in the finals.[12] Allred also helped Nebraska win the 2022 Navy Classic title with an individual championship.[13] On February 7, 2023, Allred was named Big Ten Wrestler of the Week.[14] In Nebraska's final in-season competition, Allred finished in fifth place at the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational after going 4–2.

Allred was awarded a first-round bye in the 2023 Big Ten Conference Championships as the No. 2 seed.[15] In the quarterfinals, Allred defeated Gavin Hoffman 6–2.[16] Allred would then become the fifth Husker to qualify for the Big Ten finals after defeating Zac Braunagel of Illinois 4–3.[17] He would be matched up against No. 1 and former national champion, Max Dean. Allred was crowned the Big Ten champion after he scored a takedown in each of the three periods to defeat Dean 6–3.[18]

Allred was given the No. 8 seed in the 2023 NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships.[19] Allred defeated Michael Battista 13–7 in the first round. In the second round, he was matched up against Max Dean, whom he had beaten in the Big Ten finals. Allred would win his match against Dean 7–2.[20] Allred was handed his first career postseason loss after matching up against No. 1 seeded, Nino Bonaccorsi. The bout ended in a 5–3 decision.[21] Allred's season would end in a consolation loss to Jacob Warner 1–0.[22] Allred finished the season with a combined 28–7 record.

2023–24

[edit]

Nebraska began the 2023–24 season against North Dakota State. Allred collected a tech fall victory over Spencer Mooberry. During the 2023 Navy Classic, Allred went 3–0 before matching up against Princeton's Luke Stout. Allred would earn second after Stout defeated him 4–1.

2024–25

[edit]

Allred made the cut to 184 pounds in the offseason and was named the starter before the start of the 2024–25 season.[23] In his 184-pound debut, Allred defeated Utah Valley's Caleb Uhlenhopp 11–7.[24]

Freestyle career

[edit]

Age-group

[edit]

In 2016, Allred began his freestyle wrestling career when he won the triple crown at the ISWA State Finals as a 175-pound schoolboy and then repeated as a 170-pound cadet in 2017.[25] He also won both the Warren Central Freestyle and Greco Open and the Grizzly Ironman in 2016.[26][27][28] In 2017, he also won the Apache Freestyle and Greco Open.[29][30]

After his sophomore year of high school, Allred returned to wrestling freestyle events when he won gold at the 2019 FloNationals Pan American Team Trials as a 92 kg cadet while also earning bronze at the 2019 UWW Cadet World Team Trials.[31]

In 2022, Allred began competing in junior-level competitions. He won silver at the 2022 US Open and was runner-up in the World Team Trials the same year.
