Michigan State released a statement tonight saying that senior defensive back Jermaine Edmondson has requested and has been given full release of his scholarship to play his final year of eligibility elsewhere.
In the statement, MSU coach Mark Dantonio said: “In discussions with Jermaine Edmondson following spring practice and in the weeks thereafter, it became clear that Jermaine wanted to play a larger role on the team. After consulting with him in the summer, he felt it was in his best interest to finish his playing career elsewhere. We have granted his immediate release to transfer to another institution to have that opportunity.
