Duke says forward Semi Ojeleye is leaving the program.

School officials said Sunday that Ojeleye received a full release and is expected to transfer to another Division I school. Ojeleye is a 6-foot-8, 230-pound forward from Ottawa, Kansas, who averaged three points and 2.3 rebounds in six games for the second-ranked Blue Devils (8-0).

Coach Mike Krzyzewski called Ojeleye ''an excellent student and a great representative of our school and basketball program.''

Duke hosts Elon on Monday night.
