He said he will stay for a redshirt senior season. He practiced Tuesday, and on Friday, details about his surgery were set Friday.
Allen-Williams has been a key part of USC’s defense, both as a linebacker and pass rusher in a pass situation package. For the season, he’s got 10 tackles, two sacks and an interception.
Muschamp also said guard Cory Helms injured his ankle near his Achilles tendon, making him day-to-day. Defensive end Dante Sawyer did not play after his hamstring didn’t feel good. Running back Rico Dowdle was limited by a thigh contusion. Kicker Alex Woznick was out with a groin injury.
