Safety JJ Greenfield returns to Oregon Ducks roster for spring practice

JJ Greenfield was on the roster in 2021 but didn’t play for the Ducks. On Tuesday, he was practicing with the team, but not on the roster.

There were several expected additions to the Oregon Ducks roster on Tuesday morning when the team resumed spring practices, with a handful of early enrollees joining the team and a couple of veteran transfers finally landing in Eugene as well.

However, there was one surprise addition to the field: safety JJ Greenfield.

Greenfield was not listed on the updated roster that was given to media members ahead of the practice, but he was out on the field with the team, and later confirmed by head coach Dan Lanning to be with the team right now, though not on scholarship.

“Yea he was out there today,” Lanning said after practice. “He’s gone through his own process and you know, been in the area, he’s going to school here. He’s a guy that wanted an opportunity to come back and we want to give him an opportunity to see what he can do.”

Greenfield was a 3-star recruit in the class of 2020 who had a limited role as a true freshman. He was listed on the roster last season but did not participate in any games or practices.
