Overview

  • Dan Lanning said Thursday that Jay Harris is available for the Peach Bowl semifinal against Indiana.
  • Harris entered the transfer portal this week and was seen practicing in Eugene ahead of the game.
  • Oregon’s depth at running back tightened after true freshman Jordon Davison suffered a collarbone injury and multiple backs entered the portal.
  • Reports describe making a portal-listed player available as unprecedented during Lanning’s tenure at Oregon.
  • Harris, a redshirt junior with limited 2025 usage, could join Noah Whittington and Dierre Hill as options after starring previously at Division II Northwest Missouri State.
