Devon Allen has relinquished his unofficial title of the fastest player in college football, choosing to give up the rest of his eligibility to pursue a professional career in being fast.

Oregon announced Wednesday that Allen, one of the most accomplished two-sport athletes in school history, will no longer be a hurdler or wide receiver for the Ducks. After representing the United States at the 2016 Rio Olympics in the 110-meter hurdles and then suffering a season-ending injury in football, Allen's focus will be exclusively on his track-and-field career.
