Drew Conover has decided to forgo the opportunity to sign a professional contract for next season and head to Rutgers.
Conover was selected with the 597th overall pick in the 20th round of the 2022 MLB Draft by the Detroit Tigers. He spent the first two years of his career at Seton Hall before announcing his transfer to Rutgers in June.
On Thursday night, Conover took to Twitter to announce that he would not be signing with the Tigers and plans to honor his commitment to the Scarlet Knights.
I want to thank the Detroit Tigers for giving me the opportunity to play professional baseball but I have decided to honor my commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Rutgers University #GoRU @RutgersBaseball @RUAthletics pic.
