PORTLAND, Ore. -- Former Oregon Ducks tight end Colt Lyerla was caught Friday after he escaped from custody in Washington County.

Lyerla escaped Thursday from the Washington County Community Correction Center, where he was serving six months for drug possession, according to county spokesman Philip Bransford. The center is a minimum-security facility across the street from the Washington County Jail.

Washington County workers found an open dorm room window and saw someone trying to escape. All residents were accounted for during a headcount except Lyerla, Bransford said.

On Friday, Hillsboro police responding to a reported overdose found Lyerla inside a Hillsboro home. He had overdosed on an unknown drug and was taken to a hospital, according to Hillsboro Lt. Henry Reimann.

Lyerla's condition is unknown.

Lyerla was convicted for heroin possession earlier this year. He was also sentenced in April for forgery after he pleaded guilty to using counterfeit money at several convenience stores.

A former highly touted football recruit out of Hillsboro High School, Lyerla, 24, was once considered an NFL prospect. He left the Ducks in the middle of the 2013 season after he was suspended for violating team rules. A brief stint with the Green Bay Packers ended after Lyerla injured his knee.

Lyerla pleaded guilty to cocaine possession in December 2013 and received a short jail sentence. A DUII charge in 2014 was dismissed.

He tried to make a comeback on Portland's Arena Football League team, but suffered a shoulder injury in the second game.
