In a running back room filled with big-time recruits and starting-quality players, a newcomer has emerged for the ‘Canes this fall.

Nebraska transfer Ajay Allen has already burst onto the scene in Coral Gables. The 5-foot-11, 182-pound speedster looks to bring a different style of running to a new offense at UM.

“I want to come here, compete every day and better myself and better the players around me,” Allen said to reporters.

Originally from Louisiana, Allen calls Miami a “dream school” and has shown he wants to make an immediate impact.

“I call myself a game-changer … When I get in space I do what I do best,” Allen said while also comparing himself to three-time All-American Jonathon Taylor.
