Oregon coach Dan Lanning announced Wednesday that preseason All-American running back Makhi Hughes has asked to redshirt this season.

Lanning said the team plans to honor Hughes' request.


TLDR:

Hughes: I quit.

Sort of crazy, thought he would be electric at Oregon and he couldn't even see the field. There has to be more to the story.

Maybe there's a reason he started out at Tulane?

Mid-tiers aren't just the "new JCs" - waiting for the big boys to call with the Bagman - maybe its where your talent said you ought to be.

Everyone loves to say that guys trying to move up to national championship level teams are dumb until a guy is thinking about transferring to their school and then all of a sudden it's a great decision lol

I’d bet someone $2 that he ends up at University of Houston with Willie Fritz (his original recruiter) for the next two seasons and has some nice moments.

I thought Tulane was a good place for Hughes to develop into a possible late round draft pick

He never had the top tier agility needed to play at a big school like Oregon

Can’t fault the guy for taking the bird in the hand but the better play might have been to stay put for another year at least

Didn’t learn the playbook and found out he can’t just run into defenders and break tackles at this level.

That’s what I heard

Also, Davison and Hill happened

He got like $700 k.

Thats like 2 years salary of a 5-7th rounder.

How many 5-7 rounders make more than 2 years in the nfl?

Genuinely asking….
