Ex-Auburn RB Dyer Denied Request By NCAA

The NCAA has denied former Auburn running back Michael Dyer's request to be immediately eligible to play this season at Arkansas State. Dyer, who was the first Tiger tailback to rush for more than 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons, transferred to Arkansas State in January and went through spring practice. He was the offensive MVP of the 2011 national championship game as a freshman and was named to the Southeastern Conference Coaches' All-Freshman Team.
