Defensive tackle Cory Durden opts out of season entering transfer portal

Redshirt junior Cory Durden joined the growing list of Florida State Seminoles to opt out of the rest of the 2020 season — and is now in the transfer portal.

The hard penetrating defensive tackle flirted with the NFL last year before deciding to come back to Tallahassee for another year. He has been highly rated by Pro Football Focus for his ability to get after the passer from the interior recording two sacks in 2018 and six in 2019.

Durden and Marvin Wilson were part of the same 2017 recruiting class that marked Jimbo’s last at FSU and ranking sixth overall for that year.
