Oregon's backfield depth was thinning out by the day.

A day after fellow running back Sean Dollars entered the NCAA transfer portal, RB Trey Benson followed on Wednesday.

But then the Ducks got some relief as Dollars announced on Twitter that he was pulling himself out of the portal after a talk with new head coach Dan Lanning.

Dollars had gotten some action in 2019 and 2020, rushing 15 times for 128 yards, but he missed the entire 2021 season due to injury.

Benson, meanwhile, got just 6 carries for 22 yards and a TD through his first two years at Oregon.

Dollars was the No. 2 all-purpose back and No. 74 overall national prospect in the 2019 class, out of Mater Dei HS in Southern California. Benson was a three-star RB from Greenville, Miss., in the 2020 class.

There are still pending decisions from veteran running backs Travis Dye (1,271 rushing yards, 16 TDs in 2021) and CJ Verdell (406-6), whether they choose to return for their final year of eligibility or pursue the NFL draft. They have until Feb. 4 to make a final decision.

If both leave, the Ducks will have 2021 freshman Byron Cardwell (61 times for 420 yards and 3 TDs as a true freshman), Dollars and Seven McGee (14 carries for 61 yards and 1 TD as a true freshman.)
