Impact of Elorm Lumor reportedly leaving Rutgers Football for NFL draft

EDIT: A previous version of this post read, “Lumor has one year of eligibility remaining so if he does not hire an agent AND is not selected, would be allowed to return to Rutgers if he notifies the athletic director within 72 hours that he plans to return.” That no longer appears to be true and we will update with supporting documentation.

Robb Smith was announced as defensive coordinator yesterday and just hours after his hire, one of his projected starters appears to be leaving the program. Both NJ Advance Media AND The Knight Report received information that Rutgers Football’s multi-year starting defensive end Elorm Lumor has left the university to train for the NFL draft at Martinsville’s TEST Football Academy.
