Oregon RB Seven McGee reverses decision to enter transfer portal

Hours after announcing that he would enter the transfer portal, RB Seven McGee said he will be sticking with the Ducks following a talk with new coach Dan Lanning.

It looks like Oregon’s new head coach is making a big impact on the Ducks already, just hours after his introductory press conference.

Earlier in the night, freshman RB/WR Seven McGee announced on social media that he would be entering the transfer portal and leaving the Ducks. Just a couple of hours later, McGee took to Twitter to announce that he was actually going to stick with the Ducks after having a conversation with coach Lanning and Coach Don Johnson.

In his freshman season, McGee had 14 rushes for 61 yards and a TD, plus 6 receptions for 78 yards. Depending on which RBs return to the team next season — CJ Verdell or Travis Dye — McGee could have a big role in the offense, especially in a RB/WR hybrid role, close to what DeAnthony Thomas did years back with the Ducks.

The early signing period is still a couple of days away, but Coach Lanning got one of his bigger wins on Monday night by convincing Seven to stay in Eugene.
