After initially blocking quarterback Austin Kendall from becoming immediately eligible at West Virginia as a graduate transfer, Oklahoma has relented and will now allow Kendall to play for the Mountaineers next season, sources confirmed to ESPN.
Kendall is expected to enroll at West Virginia by the end of the week, a source told ESPN. USA Today was the first to report that Oklahoma would no longer block Kendall's transfer to the Mountaineers.
Earlier Wednesday, ESPN reported that while it pursued Alabama graduate transfer quarterback Jalen Hurts, who announced he would be joining the Sooners later Wednesday, Oklahoma was blocking Kendall from transferring to West Virginia.
