JACKSONVILLE – Offensive skill remained a priority Saturday.
The backfield remained important, too.
LeQuint Allen, a running back from Syracuse University on Saturday was selected by the Jaguars No. 236 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft – the 20th selection of Round 7.
Allen, who played three seasons at Syracuse, was a second-team All-Atlantic Coast Conference selection in 2023. He rushed for 2,359 yards and 26 touchdowns in three seasons, including 1,021 yards and 16 touchdowns in 2024.
He also caught 119 passes for 848 yards and six touchdowns in three seasons.
Allen became the fifth player from Syracuse selected by the Jaguars in the NFL Draft, the first since safety Andre Cisco (Round 3) in 2021.
The Jaguars on Thursday selected: Colorado wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter No. 2 overall (Round 1).
The Jaguars on Friday selected: Tulane defensive back Caleb Ransaw No. 88 overall (Round 3) and West Virginia offensive lineman Wyatt Milum No. 89 overall (Round 3). They did not have a second-round selection, having traded that to the Cleveland Browns as part of a deal to move up to No. 2 from No. 5 overall to select Hunter.
The Jaguars on Saturday selected: Virginia Tech running back Bhayshul Tuten (No. 104 overall, Round 4) and Notre Dame linebacker Jack Kiser (No. 107 overall, Round 4) Auburn linebacker Jalen McLeod (No. 194 overall, Round 6), Navy safety Rayuan Lane III (No. 200 overall, Round 6) and Southern California center Jonah Monheim (No. 221 overall, Round 7).
