Former Heisman Trophy winner George Rogers, charged with possession of cocaine and marijuana, will enter a pretrial intervention program in Columbia, S.C. and avoid a criminal record.

Two days before leaving office last week, former solicitor James Anders agreed to put Rogers in the program. Rogers will have his record erased and he will avoid jail by performing community service.

Rogers, who won the Heisman Trophy in 1980 while playing for South Carolina, was charged in April with possession of cocaine and marijuana with intent to distribute. He played for the New Orleans Saints and Washington Redskins from 1981-1988.
