Alabama State football: Favor asks for release from scholarship

MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The ongoing drama between quarterback Arsenio Favor and the Alabama State coaching staff has come to an end.

The Montgomery senior asked to be released from his scholarship in order to transfer to another school.

ASU coach Reggie Barlow talked to the senior last week and confirmed on Saturday that Favor and his parents had asked for the quarterback’s release from his scholarship. Barlow said interim athletic director Melvin Hines was scheduled to talk to Favor’s parents early this week, although Barlow was uncertain whether that conversation had taken place.

“They asked for a release, and we will grant him that,” Barlow said on Tuesday afternoon. “Obviously, we wish him well.”
