Smoaky.com has confirmed Chris Ivory's departure from the Washington State football team.

Ivory, a senior, is trying to find a program to transfer to for the 2009 season.

The former Longview Lobo fullback has 91-carries for 569-yards and 4-TD's in three seasons in Pullman, Washington.

Ivory played in five games in 2008, but missed the second half of the season due to a hamstring injury.

Former Longview football star Adrian Reese is on campus at Northwestern Louisiana in Natchitoches.

Reese, a junior wide receiver, is eligible to play this season.

Longview football coach John King told David Smoak, "I think it was a matter of where he was on the depth chart and so he made the move."

Reese, 6-7, 207, was a red shirt in 2008, and has 10-catches for 140-yards in two seasons at Texas Tech.

Marshall linebacker Aaron Franklin has given his verbal commitment to Oklahoma for the football recruiting class of 2010.

Franklin, 6-1, 215, 4.5, chose Oklahoma over Texas.

He also had offers from Baylor, Nebraska, Stanford, S.M.U., Texas A&M, T.C.U., Vanderbilt, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Utah, Missouri, Oregon, and North Carolina.

He missed his entire junior season due to a knee injury, but bounced back after rehab and ran track and went through football workouts without a problem during the spring.
