Here is the press release from UT:
Austin – University of Texas wide receiver Jake Oliver has elected to forego his remaining season of eligibility to begin a job opportunity, he announced Monday. A native of Dallas, Texas, Oliver redshirted as a freshman in 2013 and then played in 20 career games over the course of three seasons. Playing in 12 games with four starts as a junior in 2016, he finished second on the team with 33 receptions for 358 yards (10.8 ypr).
Statement from Jake Oliver:
“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.”
