Stop me if you've heard this before, an Oregon football player has lit up the track field in his debut today.

Oregon redshirt freshman running back Tony James made his debut and made a splash in the 60-yard dash. James posted an impressive 6.81 second 60-meter dash time. According to the tweet that debut is good enough for the eighth fastest time in Oregon history.

This was James' first run in a lengthy layoff. Keep an eye on him this season.
