Chatham, IL (Future150) -- Peyton Allen is one of the better guards in Illinois and on Thursday night gave his commitment to Texas A&M .The talented wing had an especially strong summer on the AAU circuit and was one of breakout performers at Reebok's Breakout Classic.
Allen has a good shooting stroke and is surprisingly bouncy. He can get to the rim or score in the midrange. Texas A&M has landed a talented scorer who can put up points in a hurry.
Tennessee and St. Joe's were the main contenders for his services, among others. Allen saw his stock raise from mid-major to high-major after his strong summer and the depth of available guards after the early signing period. He joins Alex Robinson and should form a formidable duo with him from day one moving forward.
The Aggies would appear to be done for this recruiting cycle, and adding Allen to close things out is fantastic.
