Jacob Allen '26 Recruiting Profile

I’m a dedicated student-athlete with a strong commitment to rowing at the collegiate level. After recovering from a back injury in spring 2024, I focused on intense physical therapy and training to return to full strength. I’m now back competing in our varsity 4 and 8 (2nd and 3rd) and more motivated than ever.

What sets me apart is my long-term dedication to the sport and versatility - since 7th grade, I’ve trained and rowed with an Olympic coastal rowing coach in the summer, who’s helped me build both technical skill and mental toughness. I’ve also coached at a boathouse in Massachusetts, where I was asked to return this summer, reflecting my leadership and reliability. 

I bring a coachable mindset, a strong academic foundation, and a team-first attitude. I’m excited to contribute to a collegiate rowing program through consistent effort, resilience, and respect for the sport.
