Jarvis Cooper, Memphis Running Back with Memphis Tattoo, Decides to Transfer

Remember when Denver Broncos defensive end Shane Ray got a Kansas City Chiefs tattoo during his rookie season? As it turned out, Ray got the ink to honor his hometown. Still—odd. 

Today, there is another chapter in the wrong-team tattoo story. Memphis running back Jarvis Cooper has played two seasons with the Tigers, rushing for 767 yards and nine touchdowns. In March, he tweeted a photo of a new back tattoo—a depiction of him in full Tigers uniform. 

Just over two months later, Cooper has indicated he plans to transfer (school, TBD). 

Memphis coach Mike Norvell said, "With our current depth at running back, he is looking for an opportunity to be in a more featured role and for a fresh start. We wish him all the best in his future," per Tom Schad of the Commercial Appeal. 

Awkward. Good for Cooper for having a sense of humor about the tat:

On the bright side, his tattoo will tell an even more interesting story now.
