Florida State defensive tackle Cory Durden joined the list of FSU football players who have opted out the rest of the 2020 football season. He posted his decision on social media Thursday afternoon.
With his Seminoles (2-6, 1-6 ACC) less than two days from playing No. 4 Clemson in Tallahassee, Durden decided he wanted to leave the program so he can focus on his health. He has not been at full health all season and has tallied just seven tackles and a half sack.
Durden’s departure is a big blow to the Seminoles’ defensive line, which has already lost All-American candidate Marvin Wilson for the season due to an injury.
