The Seniors were honored before the game in the usual ceremony. The home fans at Autzen had a chance to say goodbye one last time to some of the best players in Oregon Ducks Football history including Linebacker Joe Walker, Offensive Lineman Tyler Johnstone, and Quarterback Vernon Adams. One name you can add to the list is Wide Receiver Byron Marshall. He was injured in the 52-20 loss to Utah earlier this season and according to 247Sports will not return for the 2016 season.

It was first reported by Rob Moseley from GoDucks.com. Marshall in his career as an Oregon Duck rushed for over 1800 yards and became a threat through the air last season when Bralon Addison missed the season with a knee injury.  Marshall hauled in over 1000 yards through the air. In back to back seasons Byron Marshall had 1000 yards rushing and 1000 yards receiving. In looking back he had done everything he could for the Oregon Ducks Offense. He has proved time and time again to be a legitimate threat at either position. He will now attempt to take his talent to the next level and not return to the Oregon Ducks.

Marshall is expected to enter the NFL Draft for 2016. There may be a chance that we see Marshall one last time in an Oregon uniform. Oregon will play in a bowl game, when and where still have to be answered. The next two weeks will help to answer that question.
