If he so chooses, Shaq Wiggins can now transfer to Mississippi State.

The former Louisville cornerback told Edward Aschoff of ESPN on Friday that Bobby Petrino blocked transfers to Mississippi State, as well as Kentucky, Purdue, Notre Dame, and Western Kentucky.

Wiggins, though, appealed to Petrino to allow him to transfer to the Bulldogs and the Cardinals head coach relented, according to Wiggins.

The block to Mississippi State was likely related to a former Cardinals defensive coordinator joining the Bulldogs earlier in the offseason. While Mississippi State is a school Wiggins is considering, Tennessee and South Carolina are also in play.
