Former Oregon Duck running back Kenjon Barner will be enshrined into the Oregon Hall of Fame for 2024. The announcement is timely, as the three-time Super Bowl champion is in Eugene to guest coach the Oregon spring football game on Saturday April 27th. One of the most-beloved Ducks ever, Barner played running back for the Ducks from 2009-2012. Under then-Oregon coach Chip Kelly, Barner earned consensus All-American honors in 2012. One of the most-memorable Barner moments came vs. USC in 2023, when the southern-California native set a school-record 321 rushing yards on a career-high 38 attempts and tied for a career-high five touchdowns.Barner still owns the Oregon single-game record for rushing yards for that incredible performance at USC on Nov. 3, 2012.A top contender for the 2012 Heisman Trophy, Barner played in the NFL from 2013-2022. Barner has won the Super Bowl three times (Philadelphia Eagles, New England Patriots, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.)There are five more Ducks being enshrined into the Oregon Hall of Fame: five-time NCAA champion Laura Roesler, 2010 Jack Nicklaus Award winner Eugene Wong, baseball All-American Tyler Anderson, softball All-American Alexa Peterson and volleyball All-American Lauren Plum.The Hall of Fame banquet will be held the weekend of the Oct. 26 Illinois football game.
