However, at a press conference shortly after the surprising announcement of Whitlow’s impending departure, head coach Mark Stoops confirmed that the decision was made after the player was talked to about changing positions. Specifically, the coaching staff asked Whitlow to move to wide receiver. The quarterback declined, instead opting to move on elsewhere for his remaining two seasons of eligibility.
