Wright had 65 tackles and one interception in 12 games this season. He had 111 stops and two interceptions in 34 career games for the Ducks and also returned two kickoffs for scores.
Wright joins star defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux and receiver Devon Williams as Oregon players to opt out of the Dec. 29 game against No. 16 Oklahoma.
No. 14 Oregon (10-3) has lost two of its past three games, both defeats coming against Pac-12 champion Utah.
