Jordan Kent became the first men’s three-sport athlete at Oregon since World War II when he earned letters in football, basketball and track and field. Originally signing with the Ducks in basketball, Kent was a four-time selection for the team’s Harry Ritchie Award, which recognizes academic achievement, and was a three-time winner of the Rear Admiral John Dick Award as the team’s top defender. On the track, Kent earned four all-America honors. He ran the lead leg of the 4x400-meter relay squad that finished third at the 2005 NCAA Championships. The Ducks’ time of 3:00.81 still stands as the school’s 4x400 relay record. Kent also anchored the 4x100-meter relay that set the school record (39.20) in a sixth-place finish at the 2005 NCAA meet. In conference competition, Kent took the baton for the lead leg of the 4x100 relay at the 2006 Pac-10 Championships, helping the Ducks win that event for the first time in school history. A year earlier, he was fifth in both the 100 meters and the long jump, and ran on the Ducks’ runner-up 4x100 relay squad to help Oregon capture the 2005 Pac-10 championship. His top time of 20.82 in the 200 meters still ranks eighth in UO history. Kent joined the football team in 2005 and a year later had a breakout season as a senior with 44 receptions for 491 yards and four touchdowns. Kent was a sixth-round selection of Seattle in the 2007 NFL Draft and played in the NFL with the Seahawks and St. Louis Rams.
