MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Austin Kendall’s drama-filled week officially has a happy ending.
Kendall enrolled at West Virginia Thursday in the Sport Management graduate program, MetroNews learned. His enrollment at WVU concludes a saga that began when the Sooners decided to pursue Alabama graduate transfer Jalen Hurts, prompting Kendall to enter the NCAA transfer portal on Jan. 11.
Oklahoma initially blocked from moving to a school within the Big 12, but finally granted him a release to do so on Wednesday. Time was of the essence for Kendall, who had to enroll in classes at WVU by Friday in order to be eligible for spring practices.
