Few things in recent memory were as protractedly loathsome across the board as 2020. And while the residuals of the past year linger to this day with COVID protocols remaining in place for most areas of the country, this spring offers a level of hope and optimism that simply did not exist at this time […]
The best way to ensure success in the game of football is by securing your future at quarterback, and over the past several years, Duck fans have been spoiled with the kind of quality play at quarterback that has served as a catalyst for some of the most memorable moments in program history.

De-commitments, particularly at this time of the year, are rather commonplace across college football’s recruiting landscape.
