Syracuse Football: Orange Nation adamantly says let LeQuint Allen Jr. play

An abundance of Orange fans, current players and former players took to Twitter on Tuesday to support Syracuse football running back LeQuint Allen Jr.

Emily Leiker and Anne Hayes of Syracuse.com first reported late Monday night that Syracuse University had issued a season-long suspension to Allen for his involvement in an on-campus fight this past December.

As Leiker and Hayes reported, LeQuint Allen Jr. is suing Syracuse University over the suspension. The 6-foot, 195-pound Allen is a sophomore out of Millville High School in Millville, N.J., who has been expected to take over as the starting running back for the ‘Cuse in the upcoming 2023 season after record-setting RB Sean Tucker headed to the pros.
