Three-star running back Ellis Bynum out of Central Catholic High School in Portland has announced via his Twitter page that he will be joining the Ducks in the fall.
“Thankful for everyone who has helped me on my path to greatness,” he said. “With that being said I’d like to announce my commitment to the University of Oregon.”
Bynum helped the Rams to a perfect 15-0 record and the Class 6A Oregon state championship. For his senior season, Bynum racked up 1,011 yards and 18 touchdowns on the ground as well as 17 catches for 215 yards and four more scores.
The 5-foot-10, 195-pounder just adds more talent to the running back depth chart. Besides scooping up the top in-state talent, head coach Dan Lanning and offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham might have liked Bynum’s ability to catch the ball out of the backfield and make plays in space.
