Oregon’s co-offensive coordinator, David Reaves, who was in the process of being fired following his early morning arrest for DUII on Jan. 22, resigned on Friday, a school spokesman said.

The news, which was first reported by The Register-Guard, comes after Reaves, formerly an assistant under coach Willie Taggart at South Florida, was placed on administrative leave. Eugene Police arrested Reaves for DUII, reckless driving and reckless endangerment at 2:12 a.m. a little over two weeks ago. Hours after his arrest, athletic director Rob Mullens said: “the process to terminate his employment with cause has commenced.”

Reaves’ arrest came five days after the school announced his hiring. He was set to make $300,000 a year working on Taggart’s staff.

Oregon had previously confirmed wide receivers coach Jimmie Dougherty was in the vehicle with Reaves at the time of his arrest.

Taggart said on National Signing Day that he expects to fill Reaves’ spot soon. Reaves has been removed from the Oregon football coaching staff page.

Reaves’ arraignment was pushed back from the originally scheduled date. He was due to appear in court on Jan. 25, but his attorney appeared in court and requested to delay the process until Feb. 13.

David Reaves' court date has been changed to Feb. 13. Had a waiver of personal appearance and did not appear in court today; his lawyer did.

Infielder Matt Kroon will transfer from the Oregon baseball team and enroll at Central Arizona College, he shared on social media on Monday night.

Central Arizona College is a public community college located in Coolidge, Arizona, approximately 45 minutes outside Phoenix. The Vaqueros finished the 2016 season 45-14, best in the Arizona Community College Athletic Conference.

“Transferring out of the University of Oregon was the hardest decision I’ve ever had to make,” Kroon wrote. “However, I look forward to starting my next chapter of my baseball career at Central Arizona College. I will miss Eugene but am excited for the future.”

Kroon does not appear on Oregon’s 2017 online roster.

“Matt has decided to make a change,” Duck coach George Horton said through an Oregon spokesman. “We wish him well.”

Kroon hit .184 in his freshman year with the Ducks. He played in 35 games and started in 20. He scored 10 runs and tallied 14 hits.

The Scottsdale, Arizona, native was picked in the 38th round (1,135th overall) of the 2015 MLB Draft by the Cincinnati Reds. He’s the son of Marc Kroon, a former major league pitcher.

“Thank you to my teammates who helped create the player I am today,” Kroon wrote. “I wouldn’t have made it this far with out the everyday support and constructive criticism that came along with being their teammate. Good luck to the boys, and I’ll be watching every step of the way.”
