Tulane RB Corey Dauphine announced on his Instagram Saturday that he has suffered an Achilles injury, ending his college career.

This past spring, the redshirt senior was granted a sixth season of eligibility from the NCAA following an appeal.

Over the past two years, Dauphine has played a large role in the Green Waves offense. Amassing 1,354 yards and 14 touchdowns.

In 2019, Dauphine led all Tulane running backs with 575 yards and 7 touchdowns, as part of a Green Wave rushing offense that finished second in the AAC.

Dauphine transferred to Tulane from Texas Tech in 2017, sitting out the season as a transfer redshirt.
