Former 5-star wide receiver Jurrion Dickey has transferred to Bay Area community college

I guess he wanted to go where he had a chance to prove he can still be an all- American.

But seriously, I do wish he well in his steppingstone journey

Best of luck to Jurrion. Probably will go down as the biggest "what if" in Oregon Football?

His injury derailed his ability to perform like he did in high school. He isn't the same player.

I do wish him the best. He comes from a very rough neighborhood, and it appears football is the route he chose to escape it. It always pays to have a backup plan. I absolutely hope Jurrion is planning for life after football. I have serious doubts he will play in the NFL.

Too bad he didn't pan out. Why was he suspended in August, I wonder?

Good thing we got plenty of other talents. Wish him the best, although I doubt we will ever hear about him again...

Some injuries are hard to come back from. Best of luck Jurrion.

DL stated that players are expected to be on time for meetings, and practice when asked about Jurrion’s status. There were also rumors that he was fighting with teammates at practice.

Just read that on On3 too... If that's the case, good riddance. He was given plenty of chances to prove himself on the field and failed. Seems like worse than Ty Thompson who was at least hardworking and easy-going. Totally explains his transfer destination.

Some dudes come back after being written off. Robbie Ashford is having a decent game tonight for Wake Forest (not counting the pick six). Sometimes all a player needs is a good coach and the right system.

Cristobal's 2020 class. It still has 5 guys in year six of college ball:

• Robbie Ashford (Wake Forest)

• Kris Hudson (Arizona)

• Justin Flowe (UNLV)

• Jaylan Jeffers (UCLA)

• Jonathan Denis (Louisiana Tech)

Very mixed results for a class ranked #14: Noah Sewell seems to be doing well with the Bears, TJ Bass is a backup OG for Dallas, Harper and Manning were contributors at Oregon, I think Bennett Williams is playing in Canada. I think like 17 out of the 22 commits either transferred or washed out.

Well, that's a step up from JUCO at least...

I wish him the best.

That’s a very mature and classy post. I hope this young man can take advantage of his opportunity and realize his potential on and off the football field.

Sacramento State is a decent program. I hope some personal counseling is available for him and I wish him well.

before my time sir..lol

let me look him up

Wichita was a major disappointment after his injury... Former Cali Prep athlete of the year who had personal bests of 20.8 @ 200m/10.5 @ 100m. At Cordova HS, Wilhite had 4902 yards rushing and 70+ tds as a RB.

His career at Oregon was disappointing after he suffered a massive hamstring tear his hs senior track campaign, followed by multiple injuries his freshman campaign with the Ducks.

Back in the day when RBs were king, Willhite was thought to potentially be a Hershal Walker, Marcus Allen, Eric Dickerson level recruit.

He was named the HS player of the year over the likes of Marcus Dupree and Bo Jackson. Some services, back in the Prepstar, Superprep, Parade days had him #1 not just at RB but overall.

Shocked the college football world flipping to Oregon on signing day. He had run a 10.5 100 meter and 20.8 200 meter in high school and apparently had dreams of running in the 1984 Olympics in LA, planning to pursue both football and track.

Track was not near as big at UW and apparently there was some question whether Don James would really allow Willhite out of Spring practice to fully participate. Stories go when there were rumors Willhite was wavering on his UW committment, the Huskies sent their top recruiter down to Sacramento to lock things up on LOI day (Al Roberts) and he arrived at 7am to a Duck assistant coach (Jim Skipper) already there. Roberts reported asked Skipper why he was there and Skipper told him "He never told me no".

Anyway, the short version of the rest of the story is he badly injured his hamstring as a high school senior running track and reinjured it at the opening of his first camp. Couldn't run for months and missed both his freshman football and track season. From there, battled injuries, struggled with "conditioning", and the dreaded "attitude" questions. Never recovered his speed with a top 10.92 100 meter time before leaving track, and ended up a fullback at Oregon, playing more finally as a senior where Brooks himself remarked he "had become a pretty good fullback for our team". Ended up his Oregon career with 182 carries for 731 yards (4.0) and 2 TDs.

I think I put Willhite at the top because it was during a period of Oregon football I guess is sometimes referred to as "the suffering" from about 1967 to the Independence Bowl in 1989.

Oregon went 89-146-6 over the period and without a bowl. The decade prior they had gone 59-38-5 with a Sun and Liberty Bowl. Willhite in 1982 was supposed to be the level of recruit that was going to turn things around. Rich Brooks famously was quoted during a preseason press session in 1987 ending his period of questions with, "Today is the first time in six years I haven't had a Kevin Willhite question."

(After the laughter apparently died down, Rich went on to say, "I'm here to tell you Kevin Willhite is a graduate of the University of Oregon and I'm proud of that. He was not a total failure like some writers have said in the past several years." The Willhite saga was a pretty huge deal.)
