Oregon offensive lineman Andre Yruretagoyena has decided to not return for his senior season, according to Duck Territory.
Rob Moseley of GoDucks.com confirmed the news via his Twitter account on Thursday.
With his final year of eligibility coming up, Yruretagoyena said he will “focus on getting my body healthy and graduating.” #GoDucks

Yruretagoyena started the 2014 season at left tackle, before missing a considerable amount of time due to a left leg injury he suffered in Oregon’s contest versus Michigan State on Sept. 6.
He returned from injury in Oregon’s final home game of the 2014 season versus Colorado and was utilized in a reserve role in the Ducks’ final five games.
A lingering foot injury is believed to be a reason for his decision. In addition, Yruretagoyena is on schedule to graduate as early as this spring or early summer.
