Oregon redshirt freshman JJ Tucker is currently not with the football program, head football coach Mario Cristobal announced on Monday morning.

"JJ Tucker is handling some personal issues, there is no guarantee he’ll be on the team or off the team yet, and I’ll keep you posted with any information regarding that," said Cristobal.

Cristobal announced the news during his weekly Monday morning media session with local media.

At Oregon, Tucker used a redshirt in 2018 and didn't appear in any of the team's games. Tucker has yet to appear in any game for Oregon this season and didn't dress in home games against Nevada and Montana. Following the Nevada game, Cristobal stated there were other players more deserving to play. He didn't travel to Stanford two weeks ago, which is the last time the Ducks have played.

The 6-foot-1 wide receiver from Harbor City, California and Narbonne high school signed with the Ducks as a three-star prospect in the 2018 recruiting class. Tucker landed his scholarship offer from Oregon in the days leading up to signing day for 2018. As part of the 2018 class, Tucker was rated as the nation's 189th best wide receiver in the 247Sports Composite rankings. He signed with Oregon over offers from Utah, Hawaii, Tulane, and Utah. He also officially visited Wyoming but was never offered.

In 2018 the Ducks signed four prospects to play wide receiver. Bryan Addison was the No. 3 athlete in the class and is currently a redshirt freshman, four-star wide receiver Jalen Hall left the team during spring football of 2018 and never played a snap, and four-star wide receiver Isaah Crocker redshirted last season and has played in one game for Oregon this year.

The Ducks also signed four-star tight end Spencer Webb in 2018 and have been playing him at receiver because of lack of depth at the position in 2019.
