As a sophomore in 2022, Irving ran for 1,058 yards and five touchdowns on 157 carries (7.3 yards per carry) in 12 games. He also caught 31 passes for 299 yards and three touchdowns.
Last season, Dorlus tallied 39 tackles, a career-high 9.5 tackles for loss, and 2.5 sacks. His 40 quarterback hurries were tied for the eighth-most in the nation and ranked fourth in the Pac-12.
Dorlus surprised many by opting to put the NFL Draft on hold and return to Oregon for the 2023 season.
