The jersey for one of the Jacksonville Jaguars star players will look a little different this fall.
Pass rusher Josh Allen will now be referred to as Josh Hines-Allen. The team said the name change was made in "tribute to Joshua's maternal side of the family and the other relatives who have worn 'Hines' and 'Hines-Allen' on their jerseys."
Hines-Allen was sometimes confused with his former namesake, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. The Bills signal caller will not be making any alterations to his name.
"Legacy is forever, and I’m proud to carry that tradition on the back of my jersey, following in the footsteps of my family, who have donned the Hines-Allen last name with so much pride and joy," the 27-year-old said in a social media video. "My last name has been changed, but I’m still that person. And I will continue to play like it, play even better."
The Jaguars said fans will have the opportunity to receive a jersey with "Hines-Allen" on the back during a merchandise exchange event in September.
Hines-Allen is coming off a strong season. He recorded a career-high 17.5 sacks in 2023, which also marked the most sacks in franchise history.
He was the No. 7 overall selection in the 2019 NFL Draft. The Jaguars rewarded Hines-Allen in April with a five-year contract extension.
