Former Auburn running back and MVP of the 2010 BCS title game Michael Dyer is apparently close to become an official student at Louisville.

And when we say student, we also mean Cardinals running back.

Dyer was added to the universityâ€™s system, an official with the schoolâ€™s registrarâ€™s office told the Courier-Journal on Monday. That does not mean Dyer is enrolled, but does indicate that, at the very least, he plans to apply for enrollment, according to the Courier-Journal.

Football coaches canâ€™t comment on a prospective player until he is enrolled. Dyer has until Aug. 26 to register.

Dyer broke Bo Jacksonâ€™s record for rushing yards as a freshman at Auburn when he compiled 1,093 yards in 2010. He averaged 6.0 yards per carry and scored five touchdowns. The Tigers beat Oregon in the BCS title game and Dyer gained 143 yards on 22 carries, including two dynamic runs on the game-winning drive that set up Wes Byrumâ€™s game-winning field goal on the gameâ€™s final play.

As a sophomore, Dyer gained 1,242 yards and scored 10 touchdowns.

He was suspended for Auburnâ€™s bowl game and soon after was granted his release and transferred to Arkansas State, where Gus Malzahn landed as head coach after serving as Auburnâ€™s offensive coordinator. But he wasnâ€™t able to duplicate the success he had with Malzahn at Auburn and was dismissed from the team before playing a down.

He sat out last season while taking classes at Arkansas Baptist College.

If Dyer enrolls for fall semester at Louisville or somewhere else, he will be eligible immediately to play.
