He didn't practice with the team Tuesday while considering his next move. This morning, he informed coach Gus Malzahn of his decision to leave the program.

The native of Jacksonville, Fla., has spent this season as Bo Nix's backup — getting game action mostly as a change-of-pace player against good teams and mop-up duty during blowout victories.

Head coach Gus Malzahn confirmed the news on Wednesday.

Gatewood played in seven games this season and was responsible for five touchdowns.
