    Norris Moves To Tight End


    Florida State football fans will pay more per home game in the 2007 season. The season-ticket package drops from $282 to $215 because of a decrease in home games from eight to five at Doak Campell Stadium. But ticket prices for individual games will increase by $2-$7.

    With Caz Piurowski moving to offensive tackle and Brandon Warren's departure from Florida State a near certainty, FSU needs help at tight end. J.D. Norris, a starting defensive end last season until more shoulder problems shortened his season, has been moved to tight end.

    "The biggest reason is that D.J. has had problems with his shoulders and he has undergone three shoulder surgeries," defensive end coach Jody Allen said of the former Pace student-athlete. "D.J. feels it may be easier for him to stay healthy at tight end because of the reaching and grabbing involved in tackling and pass rushing - whereas at tight end most of the time, when you are blocking, your hands are in the framework of your body."
