Our first inductee of the 2025 Gallaudet Athletics Hall of Fame Class is
Jaris Alleyne, '16.
Alleyne was a four-year letterwinner on the Gallaudet football team from 2011-14. Alleyne is one of the most dominant linebackers in program history. In four seasons, he compiled 360 tackles (223 solo tackles), 32 tackles for a loss of 102 yards, 15 passes defended, six sacks for a loss of 42 yards, six interceptions, three fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. The Waldorf, Md., native, tallied 90 or more tackles in a season three separate times. Alleyne led the Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) with 106 tackles his senior season (2014) in nine games played. He is a three-time All-ECFC First Team Defense honoree (2012, '13, '14). Alleyne was selected to the all-conference second team his first season in 2011. He was a 2014 D3football.com All-East Region Third Team Defense selection. Alleyne was named to the 2013 USA Football News D3 Preseason All-American Third Team. He was a member of Gallaudet's first ECFC championship team in 2013 and the first to make a NCAA tournament appearance as they finished with a 9-2 record to tie a program record for wins in a season. Alleyne made a career-high 24 tackles on Senior Day against Maritime (N.Y.) in his last game in a Bison uniform on Nov. 15, 2014.
