Ajay Allen enters the Transfer Portal

One of the deepest RB rooms in America just got a little thinner with the departure of Ajay Allen. The 6'0, 200-pound native of Monroe, LA announced he is leaving the Miami Hurricanes and entering the Transfer Portal:

Allen ran for 183 yards on a gaudy 7.6 yards per carry this season. He also scored 2 TDs. Allen often found himself fourth in the pecking order behind Damien Martinez, Mark Fletcher and Jordan Lyle, but he made the most of his opportunities. Highlights of his UM career include key carries in victories over Louisville, Clemson (in 2023) and a highlight reel hurdle of a Virginia defender:

Allen, who originally transferred from Nebraska, has two years of eligibility remaining. For this career, he has 734 yards (5.8 ypc) and 9 TDs. He was a three-star player out of Neville, LA but should be one of the most talented and coveted runners on the market.

Saw this coming but Had high hopes. Not a great pass protector which is why he got limited snaps. He was dynamic when he touched the ball. Tougher loss than CJJ imo

He can definitely play and get significant reps somewhere else. Hate to lose him as a good change of pace back.

Going to need a portal RB to come in and get 50ish carries next year to be RB3.

Impossible to build and sustain depth in the portal era, but I get it. Best of luck!

Or RB4 or 5. We need one just for depth. We got Pringle coming in, Hellcat coming off his redshirt and if we lose Damien then we need 2 to fill out the body count. Just like that we're no longer deep at RB

I was hoping he stayed another year but you can't blame him. Ajay only has 2 more years to go. If I'm an ACC team that needs a starting RB they should jump on Ajay. Its his time to shine

I posted the RB transfer thead but move up everyone a spot on the depth chart and Miamis got to replace about 75 carries from last year. Idk if the staff expects hellcat and Pringle to be able to take those.

They can bring in a different body type to the room and let the Pringle take a redshirt.

They gotta go find the next Ajay Allen. From what I remember he had a serious injury that took him out most of his freshman season. Honestly, I'm big on Pringle and I think he comes in as RB3 and if Damien leaves I don't think we have that much of a choice.

This is my guy. Could have left after last year but stayed. He wasn’t taking snaps from Fletcher and Martinez. He ran hard and was a shifty dude. Good luck to him.

It was tough for him to get on the field with Martinez getting better as the year went on and Fletcher having a solid year. If Martinez leaves then you still have Fletcher and Lyle. He’s not going to stay here and be the third rb.

That is true. I would've put him at KR if anything.

Yep I’m a huge fan of the guy. Just so many snaps to go around especially when you have probably the best qb in the country this year who averaged 36 attempts a game.

He had some very good moments-

He’s going to be valuable wherever he lands he’s a baller-

Wish him success-Completely understand why he’s leaving.

With only 2 years to go. The transfer portal was made for guys like Ajay who are stuck in a deep room and to go somewhere else. I'm selfish I wanted him to stay but if I was in his shoes, he had to go somewhere else. Just in the ACC I can think of 2 teams that he would start right away (FSU and SMU). I just thought of another Syracuse is losing their back and so is UNC (they got a solid backup but Ajay would start over him).
