The running back and Huskies go their separate ways as the former faces legal problems.
Much was made of Tybo Rogers joining the University of Washington football program when the running back from Bakersfield, California, fended off late offers from USC and UCLA to sign with the Huskies, took part in spring football before his high school class graduated and brought the added twist of having been coached as a senior by one-time UW and NFL rusher Rashaan Shehee.
Thus marked the end of Rogers' increasingly turbulent time as a Husky football player, one that involved three team suspensions and his subsequent arrest and charging for the alleged rape of two college-age women he met on a dating website and at a fraternity party. Still, DeBoer remained loyal to this player, even after authorities began investigating the women's charges, with the two of them shown embracing in the pre-game Sugar Bowl photo accompanying this story.Last August, Rogers was suspended during fall camp for violating team rules, with DeBoer insisting his player had neither broken the law nor an NCAA rule, yet he wouldn't specify the exact nature of the offense.
In December, the first-year running back wasn't permitted to accompany the UW to Las Vegas for the Pac-12 championship game against Oregon after the women's accusations first surfaced involving Rogers. Yet he was reinstated by DeBoer for the Sugar Bowl against Texas and the CFP championship game against Michigan.
