Offer made to 6-foot-9 junior college forward

PEORIA — Bradley basketball has offered a forward from the junior college ranks.

Nazir Allen, a 6-foot-9 class of 2026 from Mineral Area Community College, says he’s received a BU offer.

The Memphis native has offers from BU, UT-Arlington and Louisiana Tech. He’s considered a high-energy player with paint presence and a strong rebounder.

And of course, the Braves had great success with a player from Mineral Area before. That’s where forward Malevy Leons came from on his path to Bradley and the NBA.
