Associated Press NACOGDOCHES, Texas -- Texas A&M running back Derek Farmer became the second key offensive player to leave the team Tuesday when he enrolled at Stephen F. Austin for his senior season. Farmer followed backup quarterback Dustin Long, who started classes last week at Sam Houston State University. By transferring to NCAA Division I-AA Southland Conference schools, both players are eligible to play immediately. "We are as excited to have someone of Derek's abilities come into our program as he is about coming to Stephen F. Austin," SFA coach Mike Santiago said. "He has the potential to add more quality to an already good football team." In three seasons at Texas A&M, Farmer gained 1,582 yards. He started all 12 Aggie games last season and gained 340 yards on 82 carries. His performance was overshadowed by Courtney Lewis, who rushed 1,024 yards. A&M coach Dennis Franchione was not immediately available for comment.
