Tro’Mario Allen Jr left the world on Sunday, leaving behind his supportive and devoted parents.

The Denton Broncos football community is mourning the loss of senior defensive back Tro’Mario Allen Jr., who tragically passed away on Sunday, August 31, 2026.

The team confirmed his death in a heartfelt post and described him as “a kid full of energy, always smiling, and loved by so many.”

However, the school has not released about his death as his family wanted to maintain privacy. They released a statement,

“The loss of a student is heartbreaking for a school community, and support has been made available for both students and staff. Counseling professionals have been on campus to provide comfort and guidance for students whose parents have given consent.”

Allen, who stood 6 feet tall and weighed 165 pounds, was a standout athlete at Denton High School. He played in Friday’s season opener at Lake Dallas.

“I still can’t believe it. Thank you for letting me coach you. Love you kid.”

Tributes poured in across social media from coaches, fans, friends, and even opponents who knew Allen. One of them, Denton Guyer three-star receiver Corbin Glasco, posted,

“Bigger than ball and track, man. Rest easy.”
