One of the big question marks for this short offseason was the decision of running back Jordan James. He’s one of the many guys on this roster with eligibility left but also could be a strong NFL hopeful.

James made his declaration on social media moments ago. The talented running back will take his talents to the NFL.

“To Oregon: thank you for everything. Choosing to become a Duck was the best decision I’ve ever made. I am deeply grateful to every member of the coaching staff, the strength and conditioning team, the trainers, and, most importantly, my teammates who have all contributed to my growth – not just as an athlete, but as a man. Words can’t fully express how unforgettable my time here has been, and I will cherish every moment and memory for the rest of my life.”

This season James rushed for 1,267 yards and 15 touchdowns for the Ducks. He finishes his Oregon career with 2,215 rush yards and 31 touchdowns.

The Murfreesboro (Tenn.) star signed with Oregon as a part of its 2022 class. He was the No. 241 ranked player overall and the No. 18 running back nationally.
