Oregon punter Ian Wheeler has left the program.

Oregon punter Ian Wheeler's Oregon football career is likely over.

Expected to graduate this spring, Wheeler was not on Oregon's official spring roster and was not at practice. Wheeler has served as the Oregon Ducks' punter over the last three seasons after redshirting in 2013 as a walk-on.

The three-year starter is expected to pursue a career in Ministry work and has already started completing course work for that field, according to an Oregon spokesman.

Wheeler played in 38 career games for the Ducks and averaged 38.9 yards per punt over that same time. In 2016, Wheeler had a career-high 28 fair catches called on punts and 14 punts placed inside an opponent's 20-yard line.

Last season Wheeler was backed up by freshman walk-on Blake Maimone, but the freshman never attempted a kick.

Adam Stack, a three-star place kicker and punter enrolled into the University of Oregon and is expected to compete for the starting job as the team's punter this fall.
