Oregon has quietly become a place where running backs can go and flourish. It looks like Picayune, Miss. native Dante Dowdell has the tools to become the next great Duck tailback.
Dowdell, the No. 6 RB in the 2023 class, officially signed with the Ducks on Wednesday.
At 6-foot-1 and 210 pounds, Dowdell gained more than 2,100 yards in each of his junior and senior seasons as well as scoring 59 touchdowns in those two years.
It’s those kinds of numbers that will attract the attention of several SEC schools such as Arkansas and Texas A&M, but it was Dan Lanning and his staff that convinced Dowdell to come out West so he can shine.
