Beau Allen to Tarleton State

UPDATE

Beau Allen has found his new home, and it contains a unique connection to the University of Kentucky.

According to ESPN reporter Pete Thamel, Allen has transferred to FCS school Tarleton State. He’s already enrolled with the school and will begin practice today.

As you may know, former Kentucky men’s basketball head coach Billy Gillispie is now the head coach for Tarleton State.

There had been some buzz Allen could wind up at Western Kentucky, but it appears he’d rather transfer to the FCS ranks and be assured of a starting job, then potentially look to transfer to a Division I program next year.
