Covington transferring; Smith leaving program as medical hardship

6 comments by Dustin Dopirak | Wednesday, June 30, 2010 - 1:45 pm UTC

Heading into the summer, Indiana was still over its limit of 85 scholarship players on the football roster. However, two recent moves have brought the Hoosiers back to compliance.

Running back Shane Covington will transfer according to a source, and defensive tackle Jarrod Smith is staying at Indiana but will leave the football program because of a back injury that cost him much of last season and all spring. By NCAA rule, he will continue to receive a scholarship, but no longer counts against Indiana’s limit of 85 scholarships.

More on this story later.

Wasn’t covington recruited as a high rated receiver? When did he join the RB ranks?

Never mind, Dustin had it in the article on the pay site this morning.

This kid was rated as the #83 receiver in the nation, was moved to safety (seen no time there) then to running back where he is like 5th on the depth chart and now transfering.

He is a good athlete but could not dominate a position or find a niche for playing time. WR was his best opportunity on this team of very good and experienced receivers. I believe his decision to transfer shows the continual progress of elevating the caliber of talent in this program. Six or seven years ago he would have been a solid contributor.

Photos: Shared love of baseballThe Hoosiers had a little fun Tuesday in Omaha, Neb., playing games with several kids who came to watch them practice for their next game in the College World Series.
DeNato earning his spot in IU history bookOMAHA, Neb. - Joey DeNato couldn't be much more unassuming, either physically or in his demeanor.
Hoosiers enjoy practice with Bedford Little League squadOMAHA, Neb. - Bedford Little League coach Jeff Callahan started planning a trip to Omaha for the College World Series for his team around Memorial Day, thinking that his alma mater Vanderbilt would make it and that Indiana might at least have a chance. His Commodores fell short in their Super Regional, but Indiana's run to Omaha has made the experience even more enjoyable for his players.
