Argos senior Devon Allen has signed with Manchester University to continue his academic and soccer careers.

Manchester is an NCAA Division III school located in North Manchester.

Allen had 12 goals and six assists in 22 games in 2020 as Argos was the Class 1A state runner-up.

He had five goals and seven assists in 2019 where he helped lead Argos to the Class 1A state title.

"Devon is a quality athlete, student and young man,” Argos coach Todd VanDerWeele said in a statement. “He will be a great addition to the Manchester University men's soccer program. I hope that Manchester head coach Corey E. Brueggeman appreciates Devon's sense of humor as much as we did."
