Florida State head men’s basketball coach Leonard Hamilton has granted junior Nigel Dixon’s request to be released from his scholarship. Dixon plans to transfer to another school but has not announced his destination.
Dixon, a 6-foot-10 center, started 22 games and averaged 8.1 points and 6.4 rebounds in 17.4 minutes per game for the Seminoles last season. He ranked fourth in the ACC in offensive rebounds and established career high statistics in numbers categories. Dixon averaged 5.6 points and 4.5 rebounds during his three-year Seminole career.
The Orlando, Fla. native, who has played in 85 games during his career, must sit of the 2002-03 college basketball season due to NCAA transfer regulations.
