Da'Rick Rogers has transfered to Tennessee Tech and took part in team meetings on Sunday, according to Austin Price on Twitter.
Da’Rick Rogers transfers to Tennessee Tech
Tennessee head coach Derek Dooley suspended Rogers indefinitely on Wednesday after the wideout violated the team’s substance abuse policy. Rogers led the SEC in receiving in 2011 and was set to be a key piece in one of the conference’s most dangerous passing attacks in 2012. He will now have to work towards rehabbing his draft stock. Multiple run-ins with the Volunteers’ coaching staff, a substance abuse violation and major suspension will all raise concerns with NFL scouts.
Still, Rogers’ talent will keep him on the radar for the 2013 NFL Draft if he chooses to declare. There is currently no official word on whether Rogers will be eligible to play immediately, though we assume that’s the case.
Meanwhile, Tennessee will move on without their leading receiver. The team is left with the more talented Justin Hunter, though. Quarterback Tyler Bray should have no trouble picking apart SEC secondaries, despite the departure of one of his top weapons.
