Hays native and current Kansas State quarterback Alex Delton is leaving the Wildcat program.

In a post on Twitter Tuesday, Delton announced that he will use his graduate transfer option and leave Kansas State at the end of the semester.

Delton said in part, “I’ve prayed countless times and spoke with those close to me, and I have decided to utilize my graduate transfer option from Kansas State University. I graduate this semester and will be at a new university in January.”
