Trevon Allen (born February 16, 1998) is an American professional basketball player for Pallacanestro Cantù of the Lega Basket Serie A (LBA). He played college basketball for the Idaho Vandals.
Allen grew up on the Nez Perce Tribe reservation in Lapwai, Idaho. Allen attended Clarkston High School in Washington. As a junior and senior, he was named Great Northern League player of the year.[1] Allen averaged 17.3 points and 4.5 rebounds per game, shooting 41 percent from 3-point range.[2] Allen led Clarkston to back-to-back Class 2A Washington state titles in 2015 and 2016 and a combined 51–2 record. He averaged 24.5 points per game as a senior while earning Washington 2A player of the year.[1] On September 17, 2015, Allen committed to Idaho over an offer from Eastern Washington.[2]
As a freshman, Allen averaged 5.1 points and 2.1 rebounds per game and made 11 starts. With the return of starting point guard Perrion Callendret from injury, Allen saw fewer minutes as a sophomore and averaged 4.2 points and 1.9 rebounds per game.[3] As a junior, he averaged 14.0 points per game, 4.2 rebounds and 3.0 assists per game.[1] Following his junior season in which Idaho finished 5–27, coach Don Verlin was fired. During Allen's senior year, he emerged as a leader on the team, playing both guard positions and small forward, and was called "a great ambassador for our program and this university" by new coach Zac Claus.[4] On February 8, 2020, Allen scored a career-high 36 points in an 82–71 loss against Montana.[5] In his final three games, he scored 33 points in a win over Idaho State, 32 points in a loss to Weber State and 35 points in a loss to Southern Utah.[6] As a senior, Allen averaged 21.6 points, 4.9 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game while shooting 44.9 percent from the field.[7] He earned Second Team All-Big Sky honors.[5]

Allen joined the Peoria All-Stars in The Basketball Tournament 2020 after Vandals teammate A.J. Youngman asked him if he would like to play for his father, an assistant coach for the All-Stars. Allen scored 26 points and grabbed eight rebounds in the 80–65 opening round loss to Herd That.[9]
Allen's father, Alan Allen, played football at Idaho and had a three-year career in the World League of American Football.[4] His mother Sonya Samuels Allen is a Nez Perce tribal housing official, and she enrolled her son in the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation.[1] Allen's younger brother Tru is the all-time leading scorer at Clarkston High School and committed to play for Northwest Nazarene.[10]
