Noah Whittington News, Rumors, Updates - Oregon Ducks

Scores TD in blowout rivalry win Whittington posted nine carries for 67 yards and one touchdown and reeled in 2 of 3 targets for 18 yards during Saturday's 49-21 win over Washington.

Impact Whittington scored on Oregon's first drive of the game with a nine-yard rushing touchdown. The RB2 clearly still didn't see a ton of carries behind lead back Jordan James, who rushed 15 times for 99 yards and two touchdowns. But, Whittington logged at least nine carries for the fourth time in the last six games, and he's now accrued 52 carries for 283 yards and four rushing touchdowns to go along with two receiving scores over this span. His increased usage has been correlated somewhat with the team's stretch of blowout wins down the back half of the year. Therefore, it's unlikely that he'll see quite as much run during next week's Big Ten Championship Game versus Penn State, which boasts one of the nations' best defenses.

Tallies 77 yards Saturday Whittington had 13 carries for 77 yards and did not catche his lone target during Saturday's 39-18 victory over Maryland.

Impact Whittington logged double-digit carries for the second week in a row, marking his third time doing so this season. The redshirt junior finished with a season-high in rushing yards and actually tallied a team-high in carries ahead of RB1 Jordan James (seven). The latter running back was still responsible for the team's lone rushing touchdown with a three-yard score that put the Ducks on the board in the first quarter. Whittington will look to carry this recent uptick in his workload into this coming Saturday's road game at Wisconsin.

NOVEMBER 10 • ROTOWIRE

Scores twice in Big House Whittington recorded 11 carries for 36 yards and two touchdowns and failed to haul in either of his two targets during Saturday's 38-17 victory versus Michigan.

Impact Whittington had his biggest outing of the season. While he didn't log a season-high in yards, the 5-foot-8 running back logged double-digit carries for the first time since Week 1, and he increased his touchdown total this season to four with rushing scores of one and six yards in the third quarter. Meanwhile, top running back Jordan James still carried the bulk of the workload with 23 carries for 117 yards and a touchdown of his own. Whittington has now averaged 7.5 carries for 31.3 rushing yards across six conference games. He'll look to score a touchdown for the third week in a row during this coming Saturday's game against a Maryland squad that is 1-4 in Big Ten games this year.

NOVEMBER 3 • ROTOWIRE

Scores twice in blowout victory Whittington notched seven carries for 56 yards and one touchdown and reeled in all two targets for 20 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 38-9 win versus Illinois.

Impact Whittington got into the end zone for the second week in a row, this time with back-to-back touchdowns in Saturday's lopsided third quarter. The redshirt senior first scored with an 18-yard carry before catching a two-yard touchdown to put the Ducks up 35-3 late in the quarter. Whittington has still logged double-digit touches just once since Week 1, tallying 13 during last week's 35-0 win against Purdue. Meanwhile, RB1 Jordan James tallied 15 carries for 83 yards against Illinois, and he's now averaged 17.0 rushing attempts per game. Whittington's best hope to score again this coming Saturday versus Michigan will be if Oregon can put up another runaway win.

OCTOBER 27 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Catches late TD in big win Whittington totaled nine carries for 42 yards and reeled in all four targets for 24 yards and one touchdown during Friday's 35-0 win over Purdue.

Impact Whittington scored just his second touchdown of the season when he pinned a pass to his helmet for an eight-yard touchdown catch early in the fourth quarter. The 5-foot-8 backup running back has now averaged 7.7 carries and 1.9 carries per game this season. Meanwhile, the bulk of meaningful carries have gone toward RB Jordan James, who scored rushing touchdowns on each of the Ducks' first two offensive series. Expect Whittington to remain a limited piece of the offense during next week's home game versus Illinois.

OCTOBER 20 • ROTOWIRE

Slim pickings in No. 2 RB spot Whittington accrued seven rushes for 26 yards and gathered in their only target for four yards during Friday's 31-10 win versus Michigan State.

Impact Whittington once again played a minor role for the Ducks' rushing attack. Instead, RB1 Jordan James pounded his way to a career day with 24 carries for 166 yards. James has gotten the bulk of carries in almost every game this season while Whittington has found little success on his limited opportunities, as the former has averaged just 3.9 yards per rush. Whittington's fantasy value should remain relatively insignificant moving forward.

OCTOBER 6 • ROTOWIRE

Totals 19 yards in easy win Whittington tallied eight rushes for 21 yards and gathered in their only target for negative two yards during Saturday's 34-13 win versus UCLA.

Impact Whittington logged fewer than 35 rushing yards for the third time in four games this season. The redshirt junior has had a couple flashes, but he's been rather inefficient with 4.0 yards per carry across 35 rushing attempts so far. Whittington doesn't look like he'll get much consistent production while running behind RB1 Jordan James, who has totaled 64 carries for 386 yards and four touchdowns so far this year.

SEPTEMBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Scores his first TD of 2024 Whittington totaled seven carries for 64 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 49-14 win against Oregon State.

Impact Whittington enjoyed easily his most productive outing of the season, highlight by a 27-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. The 5-foot-8 senior was held back by Oregon's subpar run-blocking in Weeks 1 and 2, though these issues appeared to resolve themselves against the in-state rival Beavers. Whittington's still in the No. 2 running back role behind Jordan James, who logged 12 carries for 86 yards and two touchdowns on Saturday. Meanwhile, backups Jay Harris and Jayden Limar combined for five rushing attempts. Whittington's production as RB2 could improve significantly if the Ducks' rushing offense continues to improve moving forward. They'll have a bye week before travelling to UCLA on Saturday, Sept. 28.

Logs just six carries Week 2 Whittington notched six rushes for 21 yards during Saturday's 37-34 victory versus Boise State.

Impact Whittington fell to the wayside for the second week in a row. He also almost made one of the biggest mistakes of the game in the fourth quarter when errantly dropped the ball just short of the goal line on an 84-yard kickoff return. Luckily for Oregon, fellow running back Jayden Limar jumped on the ball to preserve a touchdown in this last-minute win against Boise State. The 5-foot-8 running back is considered a freak athlete and, after missing the final 10 games of the year with a foot injury, he was expected to shoulder a solid workload behind Jordan James this year. However, with some continuing struggles along the offensive line, it appears the Ducks have not been able to rely on their rushing game in the way many would have hoped. Whittington will likely have to play a minimal role as second fiddle to James during this coming Saturday's road matchup versus Oregon State.

Fully healthy at practice Whittington (foot) is fully healthy and practicing so far at training camp for Oregon, James Crepea of MSN.com reports.

Impact Whittington injured his foot in the 2023 season, taking him out for the last 10 games for the Ducks. The 5-foot-8 running back indicated his return to the team back in January and has been practicing now with no indications of an injury. He finished out the 2022 season with 139 attempts for 779 yards and five touchdowns for Oregon, but he'll have to battle for reps in the backfield with Jordan James with no clear RB1 established.
