Barry J. Sanders has requested and been granted a graduate transfer release, according to Jacob Unruh of NewsOK.
Sanders says in the interview that he has been granted the opportunity to transfer anywhere outside of the Pac-12, and that he is seriously considering Oklahoma State - his father's alma mater - for his next step.
Sanders will graduate in June, and it had been rumored that he would be a graduate transfer candidate for a long time. In the NewsOK article, Sanders said he wanted to explore options for his future - likely at a place is he guaranteed to get more playing time.
