UTSA all-time leading WR Zakhari Franklin enters transfer portal

UTSA is poised to transition from Conference USA to the American Athletic Conference on July 1, but the Roadrunner football program may be without one of its all-time greats when moving day occurs.

Wide receiver Zakhari Franklin entered the transfer portal on Friday afternoon, as first reported by 247Sports’ transfer portal reporter Chris Hummer.

Franklin led UTSA in receiving yards each of the past three seasons. He is UTSA’s all-time leader in career receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns and set Roadrunner single-season records in all three categories last fall. The Cedar Hill, TX native is also responsible for the only two 1,000-yard receiving campaigns in program history.
