Former Oregon running back Thomas Tyner, who took a medical retirement from the school in 2016, is planning a comeback at Oregon State.
Tyler told The Oregonian that he plans to join Oregon State after receiving his release from Oregon on Saturday morning. He has not played since 2014, as shoulder injuries kept him out during the 2015 season, and he medically retired in February 2016.
He hopes to suit up for Oregon State this season but must first clear a few more hurdles, a source told ESPN.
NCAA rules prohibit players who take medical retirements from returning to their original school.
