CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina quarterback Cameron Sexton plans to graduate in May and use his remaining year of eligibility elsewhere next season.

The school said the redshirt junior told the coaching staff of his decision this week. NCAA rules prevent a player with one year of eligibility left from transferring to another Bowl or Championship subdivision program, though Sexton could play immediately if he went to a Division II program.

In a statement, Sexton thanked his teammates and coaches, and said he didn't know what the future would hold.

Sexton started six games for the Tar Heels this year after starter T.J. Yates went down with an injury. Sexton also came off the bench to direct a last-minute comeback win at Miami.
