Re: Oregon junior day reports
He didn't go to UO, but Luke Staley would have been very welcome at UO if he didn't go to BYU. His pro career was derailed by injuries, but he may be the only RB produced by Oregon to win the Doak Walker award. His SR year in Tualitin he ran for over 300yds every game of the playoffs and was a top 100 recruit. If I remember right he ran for over 450yds and had 6 or 7 td's in a game vs UNLV, the guy was a stud RB.

Ok, Donny Reynolds is a winner here. (Latin Berry, close but I was looking more for a tailback/team leading rusher.)Coastal Duck wrote:Donny Reynolds from Corvallis (in the early 80s, I think).
Tyner looks to have the most potential for an Oregon grown running back since Woody Green. Maybe more than Green. Since Mel Renfro.

LaDainian Tomlinson owns the record for yards in a game with 406, but Staley did have that one amazing year. He was a 7th rounder, so it's not likely his injuries kept him from being a stud at the next level. He most likely was never going to amount to anything as it was.
