Allen Checks Out USC
By Phil Kornblut
TE Dwayne Allen (6-4 240) of Fayetteville, NC made an unofficial visit to USC Saturday for the Mississippi State game and got a good look at the Gamecocks. "It was fun," Allen said. "The coaching staff treated me well. I was introduced to coach Spurrier. I had a great time. I got the opportunity to meet some of the players from my state. It was fun to watch the offense, how they use the tight end, and then talk to the coaches about where they saw me playing in that offense." Allen has been a Georgia commitment and he said he remains so, but he will take an unofficial visit to Clemson for this week's game against Virginia Tech. After that trip, he's going to take a break from recruiting. "I'm putting all the recruiting to the side until I evaluate and look at all the schools," he said. "I'm putting it to the side so I can go out and have a great senior year." Allen was scheduled for an official visit to Georgia for November 9th but he plans to reschedule that for after the season. He's undecided about his other official visits. Allen also has offers from North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, Miami, Alabama, NC State, East Carolina and Florida State.
