"Oregon head coach Dan Lanning announced Wednesday that preseason All- American running back Makhi Hughes has asked to redshirt this season. Lanning said the team is planning to honor Hughes' request. Hughes was the No. 1 running back and No. 6 overall player in ESPN's transfer rankings and transferred from Tulane last offseason after a 1,401-yard, 17-touchdown campaign in 2024."
"Through four games with the Ducks, however, Hughes' role has been limited. He's carried the ball 17 times for 70 yards and has yet to score a touchdown. The 5-foot-11, 210-pound redshirt junior from Alabama did not travel to Oregon's most recent game at then-No. 3 Penn State, which the Ducks, ranked No. 6 at the time, won in overtime."
Makhi Hughes has requested a redshirt for the 2025 season and Oregon coach Dan Lanning confirmed the team will honor the request. Hughes transferred from Tulane after a 1,401-yard, 17-touchdown 2024 campaign and high transfer rankings, but his role has been limited through four games (17 carries for 70 yards, no touchdowns). Hughes did not travel to the recent Penn State game. Oregon's running back room has produced strong production from freshman Dierre Hill Jr., Jayden Limar, Noah Whittington and Jordon Davison, and the team currently ranks among the nation's top-15 rushing attacks. Hughes previously used a medical redshirt in 2022; this redshirt would leave two years of eligibility.
