Junior center Freddy Asprilla is leaving Kansas State.

Wildcats coach Frank Martin announced the departure in a statement before Saturday's home game against Texas Tech.

Martin called it a "mutual decision" and said he expects Asprilla to "explore professional playing opportunities in his home country."

Asprilla is a native of Columbia.

He started 13 games and averaged 4.9 points and 4.9 rebounds in his first season with the Wildcats after transferring from Florida International.
