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.

Anyone laying out ideas that lead pringle to red shirting is missing the point. Nobody ranked in the top 150 is planning on spending 5 years in college

Need another RB. Can’t go into the season 2 proven guys, 1 true freshman, and whatever CWH provides.

Sad to see him go. The only way this won’t be as upsetting is if Martinez returns.

Kid has earned the right to be RB1/2 on many P4 teams. Go forth and ball out, i will actually root for him (just not at SMU or FSU please)

So our RB room is now Fletcher, Lyle and Pringle for next year?

Lyle should not have been playing yet.. those were his carries… they probably promised Lyle early PT to get him to commit

Allen will be a starter or share the starting role wherever he lands next. Talented kid. Hope he stays out of the ACC.

Big loss, in my opinion. He and Lyle should have been RB1 and RB2 this season.

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

Smart move for him , that’s (2) excellent RB leaving .
Good for them hope they don’t go to ACC both are starters.

To me, this would be the most frustrating part about being a head coach in CFB now…it’s almost impossible to sustain any sort of consistency and depth. I don’t blame these players because you only have a brief window to make your mark, but every time you think you’re good at a certain position the portal hits and you’re back to being concerned again. If Martinez stays we should still be okay.
