University of Texas backup quarterback Connor Wood is transferring to Colorado.
The school issued a statement on their website, TexasSports.com, saying that the redshirt freshman has been given his unconditional release.
"I want to thank Coach (Mack) Brown, Coach (Bryan) Harsin, all of the coaches, and my teammates for the opportunity to play at a great school like The University of Texas," Wood told TexasSports.com. "I loved playing for UT and gave it my all, but I felt I needed to seek a new opportunity. I will always cherish the memories and friends I developed as a Longhorn, but I'm excited about the next chapter in my life and looking forward to playing at the University of Colorado."
Wood was beat out this fall on the depth chart by Case McCoy and Garret Gilbert, who the Longhorns recently named as their starter.
