It was announced Tuesday that John Franklin III—the star of the Netflix series Last Chance U—will transfer from the Auburn football team.

According to James Crepea of AL.com, Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn confirmed that Franklin will look to play elsewhere:

"John Franklin came to me expressing his desire for the chance to play more and get closer to home. He has made the decision to play elsewhere this season as a graduate transfer. John has been an outstanding young man during his time here and leaves Auburn with a degree. We wish John nothing but the best and thank him for his time at Auburn.
