Senior wide receiver Byron Marshall told reporters on Tuesday that he didn't seek a medical redshirt to extend his career at Oregon because he felt like it was time to move on.

Marshall only played in four games in 2015 after suffering a knee injury against Utah. 

In 2013, Marshall rushed for 1,038 yards as Oregon's featured running back. In 2014, Marshall moved over to wide receiver and led the Ducks in receiving en route to a national championship game appearance. 

Marshall became the first player in Pac-12 history to rush for 1,000 yards and then have 1,000 yards receiving in back-to-back seasons.

When asked if he wanted to be a running back or a wide receiver in the NFL, Marshall said he didn't really care.

"Whoever is going to take me the soonest," said Marshall, according to Steve Mims of the Register Guard. "I hope to play both and think I have the skill set to."
