Born Emma Simmons Allen on March 28, 2000, in Memphis, Tenn. … Daughter of Courtney Allen and the late Trent Allen … Has two siblings, Elliot and Ayden … Her father, Trent, played football at Ole Miss from 1991-1993 … Majoring in kinesiology with a concentration in sport studies
Why MSU?
“I’ve been cheering for the Bulldogs for as long as I can remember. My grandparents and great-grandparents live in Starkville. Additionally, my mom, grandfather, and great-grandparents are alumni of Mississippi State, and my great-grandfather taught accounting at MSU, too. I've always dreamed of playing college volleyball, especially in the SEC, and with my close ties to Starkville, I knew that Mississippi State was the perfect fit for me. It's my home away from home, and I can't imagine myself playing in any other colors than Maroon and White.”
