We are less than 50 days before the 2025 university football season, and less than two weeks are held between us and the start of the Oregon Ducks Autumn camp which takes off in Eugene. While coaches and players conclude their last weeks of offseason, we are ready to come back in things and dive deep into what should take place at the Autzen stadium this year.
THE Ducks Remember an incredible season that has seen a regular season 12-0, a Big Ten championship and the seeded n ° 1 in the very first university football playoffs at 12 teams. The offseason brought a major turnover while Oregon sent a record for the 10 players’ program in the NFL 2025 draft; However, these players were replaced by a young but incredibly talented group of players ready to comply with the standard in Eugene.
Will they be able to complete the work? Expectations are high, but it will not be an easy task. In the coming weeks, many questions will be asked, and a significant number of them will receive an answer. Once we have a look at things during the fall camp, we will be able to predict more precisely how things shape. However, we already have our depth cards projections for the offensive and the defense of spring. While we continue our overview of the 2025 season, leading to kick -off against the state of Montana on August 30, take a deep dive, positioned by position.
Overview of the previous position
Now let’s take a closer look at the runners while we are preparing for the fall camp.
Global recording of the Oregon Ducks RB
While the Ducks have seen a pair of runners – Bucky Irving and Jordan James – take off for the NFL in the past two years, the RBS stable in Eugene is still in an ideal place, thanks to the activity of the transfer portal and the follower. The biggest question at the moment for Oregon is where production will come from, more in terms of having too many mouths to feed, rather than too little.
With guys like Tulane Transfer Makhi Hughes, NOAH Whittington, Jayden Limar and Da’jaun Riggs, there are a number of guys who could intensify and be THE guys for ducks. But it will be a year when Oregon has an RB1, or could they deploy a committee in the next 12 to 15 games and keep everyone fresh?
Let’s look at the whole image, a descendant that has arrived this year, which left, and which remains behind back in the fall camp.
Oregon Ducks RB Departments
Jordan James
Career statistics: 38 games, 386 litters, 2,215 yards (5.7 YPA), 31 TD, 42 catches, 347 yards (8.3 YPC), 1 td
After having assumed the burden of one of the best crushed offenses in 2024, Jordan James left for the NFL after three years in Oregon. James was an integral piece in the Ducks offensive in the first year in 2022, and his role only went from there. His difficult race and his breakup speed will make him an asset for the 49ers of San Francisco, who selected him in the draft of the NFL 2025.

Noah Whittington
Career statistics: 55 games, 394 worn, 2,121 yards (5.4 YPA), 15 td, 71 catches, 446 yards (6.3 YPC), 3 TDS
The most experienced member of Oregon Running Back Room is Noah Whittington, who will play his fourth season as a duck in 2025, and his sixth at university. Whittington has never been n ° 1 at Oregon, but since its western transfer from Kentucky in 2022, it is an integral part of the precipitation and passing from Oregon, and it could be more important than ever in 2025.
Jayden LIMAR
Career statistics: 25 games, 49 races, 180 yards (3.7 YPA), 1 td, 9 catches, 132 yards (14.7 YPC), 1 td
Jayden Limar will return to the Ducks in 2025, after two seasons with the team. Limar did not see a lot of action in addition to the end of game garbage time, but his experience in Oregon allowed him to take competitive shots. He looks great in the spring match earlier this year, and I expect him to see a more significant moment next fall, helping to fill the gap in the shape of Jorne Jordan.
Dajun Riggs
Career statistics: 2 games, 11 races, 82 yards (7.5 ypa), 1 td
A name to monitor this season is Da’jaun Riggs, the Washington RedShirt Redsirt, DC, we were able to see Flashes de Riggs in 2024 at the ends of two eruption games, and its style of racing kept your eyes glued to televisions long after the result of the game. Riggs will not get start -up representatives, but significant action in 2025.
Jay Harris
Career statistics (Division I): 4 games, 10 races, 35 yards, 1 td, 1 wrestling, 2 yards
The latest turner in Oregon RB is the former star of the state of the Northwest Missouri, Jay Harris, who did not do much in 2024. Harris is great, fast and strong, which gives him a lot of advantages, but it is difficult to see him cut a huge part of the litters with this loaded rear field.
RBS from Oregon Ducks incoming
Makhi Hughes (Tulane)
Career statistics: 28 games, 523 worn, 2,779 yards (5.3 YPA), 22 td, 30 catches, 243 yards (8.1 YPC), 2 tds
Makhi Hughes is one of the most exciting transfer microphones in Oregon in the 2024-25 off-season. In two seasons in Tulane, Hughes was one of the best runners in university football, and in Oregon, where he will head behind one of the best O in the country, he could be even better.
Jordon Davison – 4 -star recruit
247Sports Recruiting Profile: Recruit 4 stars (90), n ° 20 RB in class of 2025
At 6 feet, 216 pounds, Jordon Davison brings a good mixture of size and speed as one of the two first -year students in the RB room in Oregon. He will probably not see the field in 2025, but Davison could be an impact player for the ducks on the road after a red shirt season.
Dierre Hill – 4 -star recruit
247Sports Recruiting Profile: Recruit 4 stars (91), n ° 13 RB in class of 2025
At 5 feet 11 inches, 180 pounds, Hill was described as the lightning of the Thunder by Jordon Davison in the rear field. With agility and speed, Hill could play a big role in the Oregon RB room at the bottom of the road, but he is probably in a red shirt this season.
Predict RB Oregon Ducks starters
Prediction: Makhi Hughes
Whittington is so coherent, and Riggs is an exciting idea, but the Oregon starter next season will be, in all likelihood, Makhi Hughes. Hughes did not need time to adapt from high school to college in the first year in 2023, when he rushed to nearly 1400 yards and led the AAC – and he should adapt like a glove in Will Stein’s offensive.
The Ducks are not a team that will call the name of their first ball carrier 25 times per game, but which will run the ball by committee. I don’t see Whittington start, but he, Riggs, Limar and Harris will have the opportunity to make hit games for Oregon next season.
Overall Oregon Ducks RB Outlook
Losing Jordan James the year after losing Bucky Irving is never easy to manage, but the health of the Oregon program is fully exposed with its continuity as a ball carrier. Makhi Hughes is a few centimeters from celebrity, and Oregon is the ideal place to take the next step – or jump. Behind him is Whittington, which would be a bell in many Power 4 programs, as well as young budding players in Riggs, Limar and Harris. Beyond that, the Davison and Hill Thunder and Lightning duo provides a certain excitement for the future, just like the 4-star RB committed trade in the 2026 class.
