The writing had to be on the wall, but on Sunday it appears the final word on wide receiver Krenwick Sanders’ career at the University of Wisconsin is over. According to a report from 247Sports’ Ryan Bartow, Sanders asked for and was granted a full release from his scholarship and will transfer from the program.
His decision shouldn’t come as much of a surprise after he was left off the 105-man roster heading in to fall camp and had seemingly been passed over by incoming freshmen who better fit the program that head coach Paul Chryst was putting together.
Sanders’ career at UW certainly took a few interesting turns, as he played during his true freshman season in 2014. He ended up with one catch for 10 yards that season, but decided to redshirt last season to hopefully get in a better position to compete for snaps in the 2016 season.
Instead, he found himself flying down the depth chart, helping to show exactly why recruiting rankings are a very inexact science.
Sanders came to Wisconsin as arguably the most talked about wide receiver in the 2014 class, as the Badgers managed to flip a one-time Georgia Bulldogs commit and get the No. 63 ranked wide receiver in the country.
Having already sat out a season, if Sanders decides to leave for another FBS program he will have to sit out a year and have two seasons remaining.
Should he chose the FCS route, Sanders would be immediately eligible to play. However, Bartow’s report and others do not indicate an immediate landing spot for him.
It’s also not such a surprising decision on the part of the Badgers as the team has seen freshmen Quintez Cephus and A.J. Taylor earn significant snaps in fall camp already along with the increased production from the likes of Robert Wheelwright, George Rushing and Reggie Love.
