Auburn transfer Michael Dyer hadnt even stepped on the field for Arkansas State yet before he began making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Turns out, Dyer wont play for the Red Wolves anyway. Ever.
In somewhat surprising news, Arkansas coach Gus Malzahn announced Sunday night that Dyer had been dismissed from the team for an undisclosed violation of team rules.
I am truly disappointed that it didnt work out here at ASU for Mike, said Malzahn in the statement. I wish Mike nothing but the best in the future.
Though Dyer had only transferred to Arkansas State this year, he was already the subject of more transfer rumors after his appeal for immediate eligibility was denied by the NCAA. It was thought briefly that Dyer may transfer to a lower level program so he could play right away before likely taking off for the NFL, but that speculation ended up being quashed.
Dyer rushed for more than 1,000 yards each of his two seasons with Auburn, and was a first-team All-SEC performer in 2011. However, he was suspended for the Tigers Chick-fil-A appearance and left the school shortly thereafter.
