His profile on Hudl lists him at 5'11". 247 lists him at 5'8". If he's closer to 5'8" and being recruited for slot WR I'm going to reserve judgment for now but I think I liked CJ Sanders' film a lot more.

I think he's closer to 5'8 than 5'11.

Told Adam Gorney that he won't commit anywhere (UCLA/CAL) until he visits ND.

""It would change my life man," Alloway said on May 11. "It would really change my life." He previously had named California and UCLA as his leaders, but said that's no longer the case.
rivals regarding if he was offered

wiltfong likes our chances

He's said similar quotes to Scout a couple of times as well. Hopefully he truly means it

Personally think he should be a high 3 star rather than borderline top 100 player. Just looks so small. Also doesnt have the explosiveness at his size needed to be a top 100 player.

Finally we offer someone that is not already committed, he was pretty much begging for an offer.

Told Steve Hare he is trying to visit this summer, worst case USC OV. Told Biggins "completely changes my whole recruitment." Almost committed to Cal or UCLA this spring

If he's really 5'8", then I suspect he can fly and moves well in traffic.

Updated the OP with his junior highlights. Outruns a lot of people.

Alloway will visit Notre Dame this summer.
"Like I've been telling a lot of people, there were two offers that could've changed my whole process and Notre Dame was one of them," Alloway said.

"Finally getting that one was a big relief and now that I have the opportunity I'm really going to take advantage of it. I'm getting out there in July on an unofficial and I'm going to see the campus and get the vibe of the campus and stuff like that."

I really want to talk to the coaches face-to-face," Alloway said.

"I want to talk to the head coach, talk to my position coaches and see how they want to use me. I just want to see the community, the school and just explore Notre Dame. Just really get to know it."

"I want to make it before the season starts but I'm not in any rush," Alloway said. "When I'm ready, I'm ready so if I can do it before the season I'll do it but if I'm not ready then I'll make it when I feel it's right."

"I'm going to Notre Dame in a couple weeks," Alloway said. "If I really love it up there a commitment can come out of it. If I don't I will come back and it will still be at the same level because it's a school I really want to go to.

"I'm going to come back and I'm going to talk to my family and I'm going to commit pretty soon. The goal is to commit before the season starts."

"I just want it to feel like home. I know I'm leaving the state, I'm leaving my family and stuff so I want to go out there and feel like they're my family. It might take a lot but if anybody can do it I feel like Notre Dame can do it."

I cannot believe that we haven't been talking more about this kid. He's a highly rated kid that we clearly lead for. Not to mention, take a look at that tape! He can come in and compete for 3-4 different positions.

Landing this kid would be big.

didn't offer until may....ucla seemed to be the fav but ND would be a game changer for him...but hadn't made it to campus but now has scheduled a visit so it is NOW real...where before was just words

here is rivals take from his last camp in june

Performance: Per usual, the four-star slot receiver was very quick off the line of scrimmage and often left defenders in the dust with a good double-move. Alloway might not blow anyone away with his measurables, but he has been one of the state's most consistent prospects this offseason by catching nearly everything thrown his way and showing a knack for gaining separation.

I'm stoked. We are leading in the crystal balls right now (55%) with the ever so important Wiltfong CB. We need to lock this down!

Btw, I always knew that Wiltfong is one of the better CB's to wait for, but dang... dude is right on his Notre Dame calls 87.5% of the time. His overall is 89.91%, good for second best percentage on 247. That's pretty dang good.

Just watched his film for the first time and agree with this. I think he's a good prospect but he's not near a top 100 player in my eyes.

Interesting. I like his film. His size is fine if he is going to play slot or APB. I also thought he had enough speed to negate angles. I really like him. to each his own.

He has weird tape...sometimes doesn't look like he's moving that well and then other times he looks like he's flying when he pulls away on a long run....I'd take him but he seems like he's ranked too high just based on that film.

he has things i think kelly and co look for in a wr. the ability to get separation instantly. Fuller has it, Stepherson appears to have it, this kid def. does.

Highlight tape is that of a mid 3-star slot only prospect.
