5 Things To Know About Beast Games' Jeff (Player 453)
Jeff Is Married With Kids
Like many of the 1,000 contestants on Beast Games, Jeff Allen is happily married and has a family. As noted on social media on multiple occasions, he and his wife, Jen, have two children named Jack and Lucas.
Allen posts regularly about his family on social media, showing off pictures from their travels and experiences together. This includes holiday photos, candid pictures from fancy events, and inside looks into family vacations.
Jeff Graduated From Ohio University
According to Allen's LinkedIn page, Allen is a graduate of Ohio University, which is located in Athens, Ohio (about 75 miles southwest of Columbus, Ohio).
Ranked as the top public university in the state for five straight years, the college offers over 250 academic programs for students to select for majors. Additionally, the school boasts an 18/1 student-to-teacher ratio as of 2023 Z — a point of pride for those looking for an in-depth learning experience.
It has also been rated by multiple outlets as one of the best colleges and campuses in the United States. For Allen specifically, he graduated with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Finance and Management.
Jeff Used To Work in Sales
Also detailed on Allen's LinkedIn page is his long career in sales.
Between 2003 and 2024, Allen worked in various sales positions for multiple companies. He had jobs as high-ranking as the head of sales and regional sales director in the later stages of that timeframe.
These days, Allen helps lead two different companies, both of which are dedicated to improving the quality of life for their customers across the country and the world.
Jeff Raises Awareness for Creatine Transporter Deficiency
A major cause Allen backs is support for creatine transporter deficiency, which ails his son, Lucas.
This is a rare genetic disorder that prevents creatine from reaching the brain and muscle, causing intellectual disability, epilepsy, behavioral disorders, speech delays, and seizures.
Allen discusses his son's illness in Episode 8 of Beast Games and regularly posts updates about his progress on social media. This includes past interviews he's given on the subject along with pictures of Lucas and information on how both of them manage the unfortunate illness.
Fans Think Jeff Is Going To Win Beast Games
While Beast Games has had plenty of ups and downs (see more on some Beast Games controversy here), Allen has positioned himself as one of the final 10 contestants in line to possibly win the grand prize.
Interestingly, many already believe he has the best chance of anybody to come away with the $5 million pot, and some have felt that way as far back as Episode 1.
Some have commented on the editing of the show, noting how Allen has been featured in numerous interviews and scenes throughout all eight episodes. He is also one of the few contestants who has gotten to detail what he would do with the prize money if he were to win.
With only two episodes remaining, fans will be eager to see just how far he can go as the games continue to get more challenging.
