Four-year starting QB Spencer Sanders is officially set to leave the program and is headed to Ole Miss, he told ESPN on Thursday. Sanders announced in December that he was entering the transfer portal and took more than a month weighing options before deciding on his next stop. He also considered Auburn, according to ESPN.
Sanders in December announced his transfer decision and did so “with a heavy heart,” he said, ending what was an illustrious four-year career with the Cowboys. In that span he accounted for 85 career TDs and 9,553 yards passing. He leaves the program second on the all-time list in passing yards behind only Mason Rudolph, third on the all-time touchdown passes list behind Rudolph and Brandon Weeden and third in total touchdowns responsible for all-time behind Rudolph and Zac Robinson.
