LSU quarterback Brandon Harris announced on Monday that he will transfer.
Harris tweeted his intentions to transfer Monday afternoon and LSU spokesman Michael Bonnette later confirmed Harris' departure to ESPN.
Harris was named the Tigers' starter, but was benched in favor of Purdue transfer Danny Etling after the second game of the season. Harris played in just four games during the 2016 season, passing for 139 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. Harris received a lot of criticism after throwing for just 131 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions in the Tigers' season-opening 16-14 loss to Wisconsin at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
