Rutgers Scarlet Knights red-shirt sophomore Jawan Jamison has decided to leave the program. The running back has decided to leave for the 2013 NFL Draft.
As a result of this decision, Jamison will forgo his final two years of collegiate eligibility. At this time, it is not clear where he will go in the draft.
“Jawan has been an exciting player for us during his career,” said Rutgers head coach Kyle Flood. “He is a running back with tremendous vision, great balance and has the gift to make people miss in the open field. We wish Jawan well as he begins his journey to play in the NFL.”
