Da'Jaun Riggs Ready to Break Out | Oregon Ducks Football News

Don’t sleep on Da’Jaun “Dink” Riggs—Oregon’s quietly explosive running back poised to breakout in 2026 after two injury-plagued seasons. With a foot injury cutting his 2023 season short, Riggs is now healthy, motivated, and making waves in fall camp, according to OC Drew Mehringer. He’s averaging 6 yards per carry over just 28 attempts, flashing elite potential with 168 total yards and touchdowns as a freshman and sophomore before getting hurt. Standing at 6-foot-0, 205 pounds, he brings rare versatility—experience at wide receiver plus the size of a traditional back—making him a mismatch nightmare for defenses. Even more impressive? He’s leading younger backs in camp, proving his toughness and leadership. With Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill Jr. already locked in, a full, healthy season from Riggs could turn Oregon’s RB corps into one of the most dangerous in college football.
