Mar’Keise “Bucky” Irving ran for 2,238 yards and 16 TDs in two seasons with Oregon.
Oregon running back Mar’Keise “Bucky” Irving celebrates after a solid gain against Colorado in the second quarter of a Pac-12 game at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023. Irving, a 5-foot-9, 192-pound running back who graduated from Hillcrest before going on to star in college at Minnesota and Oregon, was taken Saturday by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the 125th overall pick in the fourth round of the NFL draft.
“I’m trying to always make the crowd go crazy, so I’m trying to make someone miss every time I’ve got the ball in my hands.” “It was emotional,” he said. “It’s something you work for your whole life. You see other guys get picked before you and you pretty much get a chip on your shoulder. Pretty much all the other teams who passed up on me and picked other guys, they’re going to find out.”“I definitely knew this was a possibility for him,” Weaver said. “Just seeing him put in the work and stay focused and take care of things off the field to put himself in the right position to have this chance.
