Tulane cornerback Jeremie Francis announced that he was granted a release and will be transferring via his Twitter page on Saturday morning. He is the first Green Wave player to transfer away since the end of the regular season.
Francis--a former Warren Easton standout--came to Tulane rated as a two-star prospect by 247Sports and redshirted during his freshman season in 2015.
The 5-foot-11, 180-pound defensive back did not register a tackle in 2016 and Tulane will be returning five of its top six cornerbacks from last season.
