Joshua Patrick Allen was born on May 21, 1996, to his parents. He is better known as an American football quarterback for the Buffalo Bills of the National Football League (NFL). Allen played college football at Wyoming, where he was a bowl game MVP, and was selected seventh overall by the Bills in the 2018 NFL Draft.
Where did Josh Allen go to high school?
Allen grew up on a cotton farm near Firebaugh, California, a small town which is about 40 miles or 64 km west of Fresno, California.
Allen’s family has lived in the area since his great-grandfather, who emigrated from Sweden in 1907, settled there during the Great Depression.
The farm where he was raised was established in 1975 by his paternal grandfather, who was also a longtime member of the local school board and namesake of the gymnasium of Firebaugh High School, from which Allen graduated in 2014.
Growing up as a Fresno State fan who regularly attended both games and football camps, Allen tried to draw the interest of the program’s coaching staff; his father tried to sell the Bulldogs’ head coach at the time, Tim DeRuyter, on him, but DeRuyter chose not to offer a scholarship.
DeRuyter was not alone in this assessment; Allen received no scholarship offers from any NCAA Division I program—whether in the top-level FBS or second-tier FCS.
San Diego State made him an offer to walk on, but Allen turned it down because Aztecs coach Rocky Long couldn’t guarantee any playing time.
