EAST LANSING -- Redshirt freshman defensive lineman Cassius Peat has gone from "in flux" to out of the program.

Peat has been granted his release to transfer from Michigan State, the school announced on Wednesday morning. The announcement came soon after a report that Peat had enrolled at an Arizona junior college.

Spartans coach Mark Dantonio said last week that Peat's status was "in flux" and that the program was "giving him an opportunity to work on his academics and get himself in order."

Peat did not report for fall camp, but Dantonio said as of last week that he had remained on the roster and on scholarship.

A former three-star prospect from Arizona, Peat enrolled at Michigan State last summer and redshirted in 2015 as a freshman. He was listed as a second-team defensive tackle on Michigan State's 2016 preseason depth chart.
