The Las Vegas Raiders have signed Tyreik McAllister to a reserve/futures contract.

The 26-year-old dressed for three regular-season games with the Raiders in 2024, rushing twice for 11 yards, returning two punts for 24 yards, bringing back two kickoffs for 49 yards, and making one tackle. He finished the year on the team’s practice roster.

The five-foot-eleven, 180-pound speedster had a breakout season with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in 2023, leading the league in kickoff return average and all-purpose yards. He recorded 13 carries for 52 yards, 27 receptions for 364 yards and two touchdowns, 41 kickoff returns for an average of 25.3 yards, 56 punt returns for an average of 10.8 yards, and seven missed field goal returns for 408 yards and one touchdown.

The native of Latta, S.C. spent a portion of the 2022 season on the practice roster with the Denver Broncos after going unselected in the NFL Draft out of the University of Charleston. He primarily played running back prior to coming to the CFL.
