Arkansas St picks up transfer RB, eligible in 2012

Malzahn announced today that former Tennessee running back David Oku would also be joining ASU’s roster. Tennessee announced Oku’s decision to transfer in January of last year.

Oku signed with Tennessee in 2009 as the No. 1 All Purpose Back according to Rivals.com. However, he finished his two-year career at Tennessee with just 268 yards rushing and two touchdowns.

Unlike Dyer, who will most likely have to sit out the 2012 season, Oku will be able to play immediately since he sat out all of last year.

Dyer out at ASU
Auburn transfer Michael Dyer hadn’t even stepped on the field for Arkansas State yet before he began making headlines for all the wrong reasons.

Turns out, Dyer won’t 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.

Arkansas State head coach Gus Malzahn has dismissed sophomore WR Earl Lucas for a violation of team rules.

The announcement was made in a school release. Lucas had 20 catches for 225 yards last season and was the program's fourth-leading receiver. Malzahn has his work cut out for him and opens the season against Oregon.
