FSU football career rushing leader No. 3: Greg Allen

  • 3,769 rushing yards
  • 43 rushing touchdowns
  • 6.0 yards per rush

Greg Allen is someone that Tomahawk Nation’s “Topnole” acknowledged as a must-have on any legitimate Florida State Mt. Rushmore.

“Any assessment that leaves Greg Allen out….well I’m not really sure what to say,” Topnole wrote. “He was before time, but I acknowledge he was probably our best RB ever and top 4 is automatic.”

It’s hard to deny that, considering his four All-American honors and his unreal yards per carry average during the Independent status era of FSU. Allen was, for a long time, the top rusher in Seminoles’ history.

Allen wasn’t there for Florida State’s best days, but he was 100% the best parts of the days he was part of in the Sunshine State’s “star” city.
