Lache Seastrunk, the running back connected to the probe into Oregon’s use of Texas-based prep scouting service, has been granted his unconditional release by the No. 3 Ducks.
Questions were first raised about Seastrunk’s status when he did not report for practice Saturday morning. Oregon coach Chip Kelly confirmed the release in the afternoon.
There was no word as to why Seastrunk wanted to leave Oregon. A prep star at Temple High School in Texas, Seastrunk redshirted as a freshman last season.
Oregon paid Houston-based Willie Lyles and Complete Scouting Services $25,000 last year soon after Seastrunk committed to play for the Ducks. Lyles has said in interviews he had a mentoring relationship with Seastrunk.
The NCAA is investigating the matter.
