1 Brooks-James, Tony, UO
2 Chisena, Dan Penn State
3 Jackson, Adoree USC
4 Joyner, Jadon USC
5 Marshall, Travis Washington
6 Merritt, Kirk UO
7 Porter, Anton Penn State
8 Smith, Xavier Penn State
9 Sourapas, Christian UO
10 Strong, Lucas Washington
11 Taylor, Tatum UO
12 Young, Christian Washington

So, Adoree Jackson will go up against Kirk Merritt, and Tony Brooks-James . Although, I don't expect any of the three to finish first, it does create and interesting football player competition. They are all legit college sprinters.

and reading the articles both here and in the print media, does it not seem like the guys on defense are truly excited about what Hoke is bringing to the table???

This is not intended to be a Pellum bashing thread (there has been plenty of that and more) but I detect a renewed sense of excitement and enthusiasm. I know the real test will be when the rubber meets the road in the fall but it's good when things start out well in the spring.

Maloata could be a key piece of the DL this season. I caught up with him to talk about the new defense and his role. He also picked out an offensive lineman who has been standing out to him this spring.

Time to shine for Maloata

Dolphins pick him up off waivers

I spoke with the Temple, Texas DE to see where the Ducks stand following their offer. It's another of those "If he visits..." But I really think Texas has the inside track.

So, I have been given the official okay to 'brag' about my son!

Many may or may not know that Layne Smith took the LSAT and scored very well. He applied to several top 10 Law schools on the East coast and received an acceptance from most.

Today he has made it official, this fall, my son, Layne Smith (and his girlfriend Lauren who we love) will be attending the University of Michigan for law school!

We could not be more proud of all that he is worked for and we know he will continue to work very hard. He and Lauren visited the campus this past weekend and absolutely loved the area, the law school itself and all that was offered. He was offered by an impressive list of elite law schools including Duke, Virginia, Northwestern and Georgetown.

They have been offered a generous aid package and I know they will soar with their intelligence and hard work! My wife and I are very excited for him and cannot wait to visit his new digs next year!

Wyatt Davis narrowed it down and the Ducks are still on his list.

Hate to be his parents, can't imaging the grocery bill on a kid going into his junior year of HS at 6'6" 300+ lbs. Made a trip across country, as he is from GA, and by the looks of it likes the Ducks quite a bit. Not in Rivals yet, name is Matthew Hall

I caught up with the sophomore RB to talk about how spring camp is going for him.

Can't find much from this season's games on him, but his offer sheet was almost in 5 star territory. I'm thinking he will pass Small to get into the rotation. All we need is good news on B-Williams, or some Altman surprise transfer.....

I found his junior highlight tape. Insane handles. Kid's gonna play.

Will Thomas Fletcher be the heir to Tanner Carew long snapping at Oregon? He could well be.

I caught up with IMG TE Tre McKitty who the Ducks offered a few weeks ago. Sounds like he is taking the offer seriously.

Here is one other QB the Ducks are looking at out of OK. Not to be confused, Casey Thompson does have an Oregon State offer already, but is also talking Ducks in the article:

One-on-One with Casey Thompson

de-commits from USC, one of the best CB on the west coast. Duck coaches are well aware of him, will be interesting to see if they add an offer soon. Teammate of Jaylon Redd, and from same HS as one Patrick Chung.
