TBJ, Charles Nelson, Taj Griffin...

B. J. Kelley

Latin Berry should be towards the top of the list. A four-time all-American in track and field, and a three-year starter in football

Jordan Kent

Does not belong on this list. He was a track athlete (and bball) who played football. He didn't start on a football scholarship but he did end on one.

Russ Francis, Vince Goldsmith, Don Coleman, and Mel Renfro. Jerry Tarr also participated in both sports but as a two time NCAA hurdles champion and a member of a world record setting Oregon relay team(with Mel Renfro) he may have been brought in by Bowerman rather than Len Casanova. Of course this was before the advent of spring practice and year round training.

I disagree since the premise was “Oregon Football athletes that also participated in Track & Field”. I see nothing of the qualifiers you assigned.
Besides, Kent played in the NFL. That’s better than most Oregon football players.

Jordan Kent absolutely belongs on the list, that's why he was on the OP original list (before edits).

When did Stew run track at UO? I don't think he ever did, since track is why he was hurt so much his Sr year of HS and early on at UO.

Haha he ran the 60-meter-dash once at the MPSF Championships, so kind of a loose connection.
