“That’s definitely an option,” Sanders told the paper. “I have not been in contact with those guys yet, but I would like to see what they have to offer. Hopefully we can find some common ground.”
Sanders, who will earn a degree from Stanford in June, is prohibited from transferring within the Pac-12. He rushed for just 315 yards in 2014 and 2015.
Sanders was stuck on the depth chart behind McCaffrey, who broke his father’s record with 3,864 all-purpose yards in 2015 and finished as runner-up in the Heisman Trophy voting.
