Oregon Ducks RB Cyrus Habibi-Likio enters transfer portal

EUGENE — “Oregon’s No. 3 running back has entered the transfer portal.

Cyrus Habibi-Likio, a redshirt-junior, announced he is leaving the program on Saturday.

Used mostly as a short-yardage back, Habibi-Likio had just 19 carries for 36 yards and four touchdowns and five catches for 66 yards this season and three tackles on special teams coverage units.

He had 85 carries for 337 yards and 10 touchdowns and nine carries for 32 yards in a breakout 2019 season after debuting with 18 carries for 36 yards and seven scores in 2018.

The Palo Alto, Calif native will have two years of eligibility remaining.

Habibi-Likio’s departure leaves Oregon with five scholarship running backs in 2021, led by CJ Verdell and Travis Dye. Sean Dollars, Trey Benson and Seven McGee will vie for more time in a less crowded backfield.

Oregon is now projected to have 86 countable scholarship players, one over the limit.”

He was a tough runner and athletic. I will always remember Cyrus hurdling over Myles Bryant and Cameron Williams in the Red Zone in our victory in Seattle. He will have 2 Rose Bowl rings and many memories. 😁👍🏻

Least capable running back in the stable. Decent power and vision. Decent, not great, athleticism. Absolutely no twitch or quickness, much less speed.

If you had to lose one, that’s the one. Although Verdell is too injury prone.

Ducks really need to see what they have with Dollars. He looked good in limited opportunities.

I'm hearing the system racism in the program was just too much to bear.

It’s notoriously tough in Eugene for those from the wealthy Persian-Polynesian community. Especially so in the football program. My friend Jamshid Shirazi-ʻŌpūnui didn’t get hired despite a great interview, and someone vandalized his Beemer in the porking lot.
 
Thank fucking god, the worst RB to take a meaningful carry at Oregon in almost 2 decades.

Worst. Since Herman Ho Ching, but at least Cyrus didn’t repeatedly fumble in the red zone like Herman the Point Shaver did.

Dropping CHL and adding Cardwell as well as pursuing DeRhuyter over Tosh just validates that Mario is willing to adapt. CHL provided more than productions to this program. I wish him well.

you gotta tell your buddy to stop the hookah and pay more attention to the state of his vehicle.

I'd love to bash Oregon for this but I'd prefer this JAG in your backfield getting more carries.

Addition by subtraction.
