Syracuse running back LeQuint Allen is suing the university as he tries to overturn a season-long suspension, according to a report.
Allen’s suspension stems from an on-campus fight that took place back in December, according to Syracuse.com
. The report says he has been suspended for the summer and fall semesters.
Per the report, Allen’s appeal for his suspension was denied, which led to a lawsuit being filed.
On Dec. 11, Allen said in an affidavit that he punched a man in “self defense” after he had been hit twice in the face. Per the report, Allen was charged with third-degree assault but the case was l
ater settled with an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal.
If Allen is lost for the 2023 season, that would have significant ramifications for Syracuse’s offense. With Sean Tucker now in the NFL, Allen was set to take over as the Orange’s starting running back.
Last season as a sophomore, Allen rushed for 274 yards and 1 touchdown on 41 carries. His mark of 6.7 yards per carry led the team in 2022.
