Football head coach Jeff Quinn announced Thursday afternoon that sophomore quarterback Zach Maynard has left the Buffalo football program.
'I'm very disappointed in Zach's decision to leave our program prior to getting to know our coaching staff,' Quinn said. 'That being said, we are only interested in guys that are passionate about being a Buffalo Bull in our football family. In line with our ‘Next Bull In' philosophy, we will not let this deter us from our goal of playing for championships.'
According to Phil Kornbut, Maynard and half brother Keenan Allen, a top high school safety prospect from Greensboro, NC, will be visiting Clemson this weekend. In the report, Maynard's mother, Dorie Lang, said Maynard decided to transfer because of the coaching change, among other things.
Maynard finished last season with 2,684 passing yards, 18 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.
