Jake Dukart is making a move, although he apparently won’t have to leave campus to do it.
According to The Oregonian, a university spokesperson has confirmed that the quarterback is no longer a player on the Oregon State football team. However, it appears Dukart, a two-sport standout in high school, will remain at OSU as a member of the Beavers baseball team.
Oregon State has lost one of its quarterbacks, as freshman Jake Dukart has left the program, according to a university spokesman.

Checked with another source, and that is the plan. Dukart tested the water in football, and now he'll turn his attention to baseball. Remains at OSU. https://t.co/ovyKZCoKBL

The move by Dukart, who was expected to compete for the starting job in 2019, comes less than a month after Nebraska quarterback transfer Tristan Gebbia was officially added to the OSU football roster. It’s believed that the addition of Gebbia, who has to sit out the 2018 season but will then have three years of eligibility beginning in 2019, played some role in Dukart’s decision.
Dukart was a three-star 2018 signee who was one of the highest-rated recruits in the Beavers’ most recent class. The Lake Oswego, OR, native was originally an Arizona State baseball commit before signing with the OSU football team this past February.
