QB Tylin Oden dismissed by Rutgers for violating team rules

The quarterback derby at Rutgers will have one fewer competitor moving forward.

Sophomore Tylin Oden, who appeared in six games a year ago and was once considered a future starter for the Scarlet Knights, was dismissed from the program on Tuesday for a violation of team rules.

"We wish Tylin nothing but the best in his future decisions," coach Chris Ash said in a statement.

Oden, a former three-star recruit as a dual-threat quarterback, once seemed like a promising option to lead the spread offense Ash has installed since taking over the Scarlet Knights last year.
