Thomas Tyner ready to walk away from college football

One of the top prospects in Oregon history appears ready to move on from college football.

Oregon State running back Thomas Tyner said in an interview with The Portland Tribune he was ready to "move on" instead of attempting to earn a sixth year of eligibility. Tyner's father, John, confirmed the running back's line of thinking to The Oregonian/OregonLive.

"My heart's not in football anymore," Thomas Tyner reportedly said. "If I'm not 100 percent committed, it's time for me to move on."

Tyner completed his senior year of eligibility but had the option of petitioning the NCAA for a sixth season.
