LeQuint Allen

Jaguars selected Syracuse RB LeQuint Allen with the No. 236 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Allen (6’0/204) spent his entire three-year career at Syracuse, but saw minimal production as a freshman while playing behind current Buccaneers running back Sean Tucker. In 2024, Allen took the lead in Syracuse’s backfield and immediately rushed for 245-1,064-9 while adding another 38-210-1 through the air. He saw similar production on the ground in 2024 (228-1,021-16), but saw far more receiving production, finishing the year with a line of 64-521-4. His 64 receptions led all FBS backs last season, while his 8.3 YPR ranked 21st amongst FBS backs (min. 50 targets). Allen’s rushing production leaves a lot to be desired. In his two years as a starter, Allen averaged a meager 4.4 YPC and was average when it came to creating yards after contact (3.18 YCO/ATT). His tendency to run upright isn’t doing him any favors, either. Allen’s ability to contribute in the passing game – both as a receiver and pass-blocker, and on special teams is what will give him a chance to make an impact on a roster early on. It’s worth noting, per PFF, that Allen lined up out wide or in the slot on 191 passing down snaps in his career.
