Texas wide receiver Jake Oliver has retired from college football. Having already graduated from the University of Texas, Oliver has decided to move on to his professional life.

Jake Oliver, the Texas Longhorn’ second-leading receiver in 2016, has decided to retire from football. In an expansive statement, Oliver, who has already graduated from the University of Texas, thanked the UT community for its support and cited having a job in-hand for his reasoning.

“After giving it a lot of thought with my family, I’ve decided to forego my remaining eligibility and begin my future career path. I feel so fortunate to have already earned my degree from one of the best universities in the nation, The University of Texas. It’s helped me already have a job in hand, and I’m ready to start that next chapter. In the last four years I’ve grown so much, met so many people, and I’ve built friendships with that will last a lifetime. I want to thank all of my teammates, coaches and the staff members who have had such a big influence on me both on and off the field. I’ve enjoyed every moment of being on this team and will cherish that for the rest of my life. Even though I’m going to miss football, I’m really excited to take on a new challenge. I talked with Coach Herman and appreciate his support and understanding. I wish the best for the new staff and all of my teammates. I know firsthand how good this team can be, and I’m looking forward to cheering them on to a lot of wins. I’ll always bleed burnt orange.”

Oliver was second on the team in receptions last season, with his 33 catches coming in just behind team-leader Armanti Foreman’s 34. His best game came in the win against Texas Tech, where Oliver recorded three receptions for 76 yards. Oliver’s 358 receiving yards were good for fifth on the team in 2016.
