Sophomore quarterback Zack Greenlee has been granted a release from the football team, the Fresno State Athletic Department announced Sunday.

Greenlee will finish out the spring semester here at Fresno State before transferring to another school.

The university’s policy on granting transfer release states that student-athletes are not allowed to transfer to another school within the conference or three other schools of the coaches choosing.

“I am very thankful for the dedication that Zack brought to our program,” head coach Tim DeRuyter said in a statement. “He was a good teammate and a good player to coach. He now wishes to pursue other avenues with his education and football career and we wish him nothing but the best moving forward.”

The Stockton native led the Bulldogs in passing last season, completing 74-of-156 passes (47.4 percent) for 866 yards and 13 touchdowns.

The Bulldogs begin spring ball on Tuesday, Feb. 23 with three quarterbacks on the roster that started at least one game in 2015 in Kilton Anderson, Ford Childress and Chason Virgil.
