EUGENE -- Outside linebacker Oshay Dunmore is the latest Duck to leave the Oregon football program this offseason and the second young, mobile linebacker to depart in a week.

Dunmore could not be reached for comment early Tuesday and program spokesman Dave Williford would not confirm the news, which was first reported by Justin Hopkins of 247Sports. Dunmore, however, is no longer listed on the team's online roster.

Two sources said, on the condition of anonymity, that he would leave and that it was not Dunmore's decision -- nor Robinson's -- to depart and that their scholarships were not renewed. The sources said the exits by Robinson and Dunmore are related, were in the works for about two weeks and were the result of a culmination of team rules violations.

Dunmore already has garnered interest in several schools, and has spoken informally with USC, Washington and UCLA, among others.

The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Dunmore was a former decathlete and safety from Newport High who moved to outside linebacker last August. Dunmore was expected to start fall camp as a redshirt junior behind Tyson Coleman, who is recovering from a knee injury in December, and Torrodney Prevot on the depth chart.

In April, not quite a year into his position change, outside linebackers coach Erik Chinander and Dunmore spoke highly of his potential.

"I'm really comfortable now," Dunmore said. "I've had the experience of last year getting into some games and the whole season of playing up on the line of scrimmage now it's just I know what to expect."

Other Ducks have left the team this spring to find more opportunities for playing time elsewhere. Defensive back Eric Amoako was the latest to do so last week, though he was preceded by quarterback Jake Rodrigues, who left for San Diego State, quarterback Damion Hobbs, who left for Utah State, and receiver Eric Dungy, who ESPN reported in March will sign with South Florida.

Punter Dylan Ausherman left the team prior to spring practices in April, saying he hoped to focus on his studies and his career of being a firefighter after he was beaten out by Ian Wheeler for the team's backup punter job.
