Former Clemson tight end Davis Allen scored his first career NFL touchdown on Sunday.

Playing the Baltimore Ravens, Allen caught a 7-yard screen pass from Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford for his first score as a pro. Allen’s score gave the Rams a 17-14 lead over the Ravens.

After playing at Clemson for four years, Allen was drafted by Los Angeles in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL draft. Prior to Sunday’s game against Baltimore, Allen had just one catch for six yards on the year.

A former three-star recruit, Allen first arrived at Clemson in 2019 and gradually earned more and more playing time as the years progressed. He had his best statistical season in 2022, finishing the year with career-high marks in receptions, yards and touchdowns at 39, 443 and five, respectively.
