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.

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

So Martinez and Fletcher at 3 and 4?

It takes a certain skill set to do that. Ajay does not have that. Your knowledge is showing here.

Obviously you think you're a smarty. Yah I do know a little bit about the positions as I performed both exclusively in HS for 2 years. You must have good hands, be able to catch the ball, run north n south, and don't let the ball bounce. Based on my observations AJAY does catch the ball and he is quick n fast with elusive moves. My Dad and God Bless his soul was a HS head football coach for 21 years. I can tell you football was an integral part of our family life. AJAY fits the EXACT MOLD of a player to be used as a kick and punt returner. Our staff failed this young man along with the team. Merry Christmas to you!

Maybe Allen could be a good return man, but his inability in pass protection when we had a franchise QB was the reason he didnt get as much PT. Not sure staff "failed" him.

I won't disagree with your assessment about his blocking skills. You don't need those skills to be a dynamic punt and kick off returner. Instead our staff rode two players as kick and punt returners that were INCREDIBLY DISSAPOINTING to say the least. Again, they failed the kid and without a doubt the team. Our special teams on kick offs and punt returns was close to an D or F grade. Elite teams recognize the importance of these two positions but not this staff. Eight millions dollars a year for what? For a guy who spews nonsense every week in and out of his mouth. MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HO HO HO lol

Yeah I didn’t get that , our kick off and punt return was the worse I seen at Miami in awhile. I don’t remember getting past the 30 on the kick off return

Did not stop the staff from running some of their OL out there while Cam ran around saving their asses.
