Granier (6-foot-6, 316 pounds) started two games for the Commodores last fall at right tackle and also saw action at guard during his career. He had announced on Monday his intent to transfer.
Granier, who was ranked among the state’s top 25 prospects four years ago, will have one season of eligibility at Tulane.
While the Green Wave is slated to return all five starters on its offensive line, it will have no fewer than two departures – graduate student Hunter Knighton and Leeward Brown, who announced his intention to transfer – and three other players would be fifth-year seniors in 2018.
