SAN ANTONIO – Former UTSA star Nick Allen has signed a contract with BKG Prima SE – a professional club in Budapest, Hungary, he announced on Wednesday morning.
Allen, a native of Surprise, Ariz., signed with BKG Prima SE in the NB/IB division in Hungary. He will be coached on BKG Prima SE by Aguston Nagy, who helped the club to a fifth-place finish in a 24-team league last season.
A 6-foot-8, 235-pound forward, Allen played in a UTSA record 129 games over his career, making 97 starts. He averaged 7.0 points, 4.4 rebounds and 22.1 minutes per game over his career. In 2018-19, while helping direct the Roadrunners to a second-place finish in Conference USA, Allen averaged career highs in points (9.0), rebounds (5.1) and minutes (26.4) per game. He is a career 34-percent shooter from beyond the arc, hit 66-percent of his attempts from the charity stripe and shot 48 percent overall from the field in his career.
Allen finished his UTSA career ranking eighth in school annals with 563 rebounds, adding 899 points, the 22nd best total in UTSA history.
Allen is the second graduate from UTSA's 2018-19 class to ink a professional contact, as guard Giovanni De Nicolao signed a deal with Italian club Fortitudo Agrigento.
