Reserve Corner Dionte Allen leaves the team

"Florida State redshirt junior cornerback Dionte Allen has voluntarily left the football team and been granted his release to transfer, the school announced on Monday. Allen had three pass breakups in an injury-marred season last year and started just one game. He suffered a broken thumb and the surgery sidelined him for four games. He was also facing competition at the position from rising star Greg Reid." Impact: Minimal This move was expected to happen eventually as non-contributing upperclassmen who are passed up by younger players typically do not stick around. In an ideal FSU world, Allen would have been around this fall to gain more A.P.R. points for FSU. Allen was firmly behind Greg Reid at the field corner position and might have been passed up by freshman Lamarcus Joyner as well. Allen never caused trouble at Florida State. He just couldn't stay healthy and thus didn't develop as expected. The roster has been updated.
