Editor’s note: This story is the second in a series on incoming football players’ impacts on the team.

LSU hasn’t found a steady fullback since Quinn Johnson took his services to the Green Bay Packers after the 2009 NFL Draft.

The fullback position has been a revolving door for the Tigers, with junior James Stampley and converted offensive linemen Richard Dugas and Thomas Parsons seeing time.

This season’s plan at fullback took another turn Thursday when it was announced sophomore Dominique Allen has been suspended indefinitely for “violating team rules.”

“There is a responsibility our players have to this program,” said LSU coach Les Miles in a press release. “There are things that you can and can’t do, and we are not going to compromise the integrity of our program.”
