When you look at the most recent rankings of running back recruits in the 2023 class, you may get a bit excited if you’re a fan of the Oregon Ducks.
Not only did 4-star RB commit Dante Dowdell recently make a big jump up in the rankings, but there is another prospect — 5-star Richard Young — who also ranks high on the list.
Both have been moving up over the past couple of months.
In the most recent list of top players according to On3, Dowdell is now ranked as the No. 6 RB in the nation, and Young is ranked at No. 3 in the nation.
Oregon commit at #6
#3 deciding soon between Alabama, Oregon & Georgia
Either way, Oregon is in good hands https://t.co/0PoOW9a3aC

We will hopefully know soon whether or not Young is going to commit to the Ducks, but the recent movement at Alabama definitely points to the Ducks gaining some ground in his recruitment.
When all is said and done, this could be one of the more talented backfields that we’ve seen in recent memory in Eugene, which is absolutely saying something.
