With Seven McGee and Anthony Beavers recruited for 2021, it appears the Oregon coaches have reaffirmed their commitment to elite speed.

Not that this Oregon footprint ever went away, but early on the emphasis was on upping the physicality in the trenches.

The Alabamas and Clemsons have both, and Oregon will too.

Top 20 football requires tough defense and strength in the trenches, but in the modern game you also have to have the athletic ability to make plays and score points.

The Lamichael James/DeAnthony Thomas era continues to pay dividends. Kids continue to describe Oregon as "a dream offer" and "my favorite school growing up."
