Georgia redshirt junior offensive lineman Pat Allen will transfer, he announced Tuesday.
The 6-foot-4, 305-pounder from Reisterstown, Md., played in six games last season and started at left guard in the opener against Appalachian State. Allen did not play after the 42-13 thumping of Kentucky, which was Georgia's 11th of 15 games.
"After careful consideration and careful talks with my family and my coaches, it's with pain in my heart that I inform you all and Dawg Nation that I will be transferring and opening my recruitment from the University of Georgia," Allen posted on his private Twitter account.
The Athens-Banner Herald was the first to report Allen's comments.
Allen was a four-star prospect in the 2015 signing class according to ESPN, Rivals.com and Scout.com. He redshirted that year and played in two games during the 2016 season, including the 31-23 win over TCU in the Liberty Bowl.
