Vikings signed UNC CB Marcus Allen.

26 April 2026

Allen (6'2/187) worked his way into the Tar Heels’ starting lineup late in his 2022 freshman year and never relinquished the role. He led the team twice in passes defended, yet has just three career interceptions. Allen, 22, ran a 4.50-second 40 at the NFL Scouting Combine and produced a 39” vertical jump. He has special teams experience, which will help give him a leg up on a 53-man roster spot, though the practice squad remains his most likely 2026 home.
