Barner emerges from James' shadow
For the past two seasons Oregon coach Chip Kelly has described Kenjon Barner as option ''1A'' behind starter LaMichael James because both running backs were so equally talented and integral to the Ducks' success that it was unfair to differentiate them in any broader terms.
With James off to the NFL, Barner is poised to become Oregon's No. 1 for the upcoming...

Kenjon Barner's commitment like landing a 6-star running back
The Ducks secured a key element of their 2012 roster when Kenjon Barner decided to return for his senior season.
Few running backs they could have picked up in recruiting would have as great an impact as the versatile Barner will this fall. Not only is he a proven commodity and a tremendous fit for the Oregon zone blocking system, Barner adds poise, maturity and leadership. Confident...

Kenjon Barner Should Return, Be Featured Oregon Rusher
LaMichael James has spent the last three years representing everything that is Oregon football. He was in the right place at the right time when LeGarrette Blount threw the punch at Boise State in 2009 (although it feels like it was a decade ago), and he’s been the face of the university ever since. Now that he’s turning pro a year early, Kenjon Barner has the opportunity to...
