Oregon’s top cornerback will not play in the Fiesta Bowl.

Khyree Jackson, a first team all-Pac-12 selection by both the coaches and AP, announced he will forego his remaining eligibility and prepare the NFL draft.

Jackson had 34 tackles (five for loss), with two sacks, seven pass breakups and three interceptions this season. He injured his left shoulder against Washington on Oct. 14 and missed the game against Washington State the following week before returning and playing the last six games with a brace on his shoulder, leaving multiple games due to aggravating the injury.
