Cyrus Allen News, Rumors, Updates - Cincinnati Bearcats

Headed for NFL Draft Allen has officially announced his declaration for the 2026 NFL Draft, per a post on his personal X account.

Impact Allen is coming off a solid showing as a senior for the Bearcats, totaling 51 catches for 674 yards and 13 touchdowns. Considering he has already played 10-plus games in four seasons, it seemed inevitable he was headed for the pro ranks, but it's now official. Allen isn't viewed as a major draft prospect, so he'll need to impress during the draft process to hear his name called next spring.

Muted effort in bowl game Allen reeled in both of his targets for nine yards and one touchdown during Friday's 35-13 defeat versus Navy.

Impact Allen's down effort in the bowl game isn't shocking, given the downpour that ensued throughout the contest and the fact that he was playing with a backup quarterback after Brendan Sorsby's departure via the transfer portal. Allen still finished off his senior season with a career-best 51 catches and 13 receiving touchdowns, adding 674 receiving yards to that total along with seven carries for 20 yards. He'll now turn his sights toward the next level, though he likely faces an uphill climb to hear his name called in the 2026 NFL Draft.
