Texas' Jake Oliver foregoing senior season to focus on future

Jake Oliver's future does not include football.

The Texas receiver will forgo his senior season and focus on a career outside of football, he told Max Olson of ESPN.

"I have enjoyed every second of being on this team and I will always be a Longhorn for life," Oliver said. "In the last four years, I have built friendships that I will always cherish. It's just time for me to move on and take on a new challenge in life. I'm really excited for the change but I will miss football like crazy. This team is really good and I know that they're gonna win a lot of games."

Oliver finished second on the Longhorns last season with 33 receptions.

The news is the latest tough piece of news for new head coach Tom Herman, after the 41-year-old had a subpar signing day with Texas. Herman is hoping to turn a program around that hasn't posted a winning record since 2013.
