Ducks' Jacob Breeland a candidate for college football's top tight end

Oregon Ducks junior Jacob Breeland was named on the preseason watch list for the John Mackey Award on Friday, given to college football's tight end.

His inclusion on the 64-player Mackey list makes Breeland the latest Duck to be named to a preseason watch list.

Breeland earned honorable mention all-Pac-12 honors in 2017 after catching 18 passes for 320 yards and five touchdowns. In the process he became one of quarterback Justin Herbert's favorite targets. With UO's wide receivers a question mark entering the 2018 season, Breeland again figures to be a big beneficiary of Oregon's passing offense.
