Because of NCAA transfer rules, Vaughn will likely have to sit out the 2017 season. He will, though, have two seasons of eligibility remaining beginning in 2018.
Vaughn rushed for a team-high 723 yards and six touchdowns as a true freshman in 2015. This past season, he was third with 301 yards and three touchdowns.
