By It’s amazing to think that even without Troy Franklin next season, the Oregon Ducks football team is going to enter the 2024 college football year with one of the best receiver rooms in the country and perhaps in their history.
We all know the Ducks are entering the Big Ten Conference for the first time and they’ll need as much talent in every position group as possible to be league contenders. The Big Ten is known for its big lines, running attacks and tough defenses. But recently, the likes of Michigan and Ohio State have opened up their offenses a bit and great receivers have made themselves known in that league.
Now the Ducks will provide some Big Ten defensive coordinators some nightmares with all the receiver talent they’ll throw on the field.
