“Marcus has been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and began chemotherapy this week. We want to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers during an extremely difficult time for our family. We thank God for His continued grace, mercy, and favor. We wait in anticipation for a miracle healing to take place. We are standing on faith.”

Allen also earned All-State honors, was named 5A Player of the Year and received the Joe DiMaggio South Florida High School Player of the Year award.
Allen was named to the 2024 Allen Iverson Classic All-American Game and was ranked as the nation’s No. 74 recruit in the ESPN 100. He also helped AZ Compass Prep reach the GEICO National Championship Game during the 2022–23 season.

“Marcus is an incredible person and teammate, and we will do everything we can to support him and his amazing family during this difficult time,” head coach Jai Lucas said. “Marcus brings toughness and selflessness to our locker room every day, and those same qualities will help him defeat this disease. Our entire program will continue to support Marcus in any way we can as he focuses on his health.”
