Boise State reportedly granted the request of guard Paris Austin to release him from his scholarship Thursday, which will allow him to transfer to another Division I program.
Evan Daniels of Scout reported the news.
Austin was the team's second-leading scorer at 12.3 points per game and led the Broncos with 2.8 assists per game. He will have two years of eligibility remaining after sitting out a year under NCAA rules governing transfer student-athletes.
The reasoning behind Austin's decision to transfer is unclear. Boise State has gone 20-12 each of the last two seasons under Leon Rice but failed to make the NCAA tournament.
