In what is disappointing, but not totally unexpected news, Nebraska head coach Mike Riley announced the departures of Johnny Stanton and Glenn Irons from the football program.
"Johnny Stanton informed me this afternoon that he has chosen to transfer to another institution to continue his college career. Johnny is an outstanding young man and we wish him the very best moving forward."
Riley also announced that receiver Glenn Irons will no longer be a part of the Nebraska football program.
Stanton's departure was expected after he didn't enter the spring game until late in the second half, seemingly now fifth on the depth chart behind presumed starter Tommy Armstrong, but also after freshman A.
