Set to return Allen (undisclosed) is "set to return" following his offseason recovery, David Lake of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact An offseason problem prevented Allen from being available during Miami's spring practice, but his issue no longer seems to be one as of Wednesday. Transferring from Nebraska to Miami paid dividends for the running back, who logged 70 carries for 361 yards (5.2 averaged per carry) and five touchdowns in his first year at The U.

The redshirt freshman running back has finished with over 50 rushing yards his last two outings, leading the team in this matchup. Fellow backfield teammate Mark Fletcher tied with Allen for team carries after missing the last few weeks due to injury and could earn a share of opportunities for Saturday's matchup against NC State.
