Breaking down the deep roster of running backs competing for a starting job during Oregon Duck Football’s 2024 season.
With a much deeper roster compared to the 2023 season and plenty of veterans vying for starting spots, Oregon Ducks football has a good problem on their hands. Even in the first episode of the Oregon Football fall camp documentary, “That Team Out West,” Fox Sports Analyst Joel Klatt acknowledged that several positions will have heated battles.
Jordan James had the biggest impact on the field last season for the Ducks out of the remaining running backs. Though Irving dominated in carries for the green and yellow, James sat on top of the Pac-12 for yards per carry and was 10th nationally with a 7.09 average. He also scored a touchdown in nine of the fourteen overall games he played in.
Assumed to be the second-most likely back to rise to the top of the depth is Whittington. Whittington is now healthy, after he made a 10-month recovery from an ACL injury he sustained during Oregon’s game versus Colorado last year. He did secure a redshirt for 2023, so technically he does have two more years left of play with the Ducks, but chances are if he has a good season, he’ll likely forgo his final year of eligibility.
During the last two years with Northwest Missouri State, Harris racked up 1,381 rushing yards along with 23 touchdowns on 333 carries which earned him a spot on the Division II All-American first team. He was the only running back out of all divisions to run for over 100 yards per game over 11 contests.
