Byron Cardwell was one of the more exciting additions in Oregon football’s 2021 class and although he didn’t enroll early like Seven McGee, he has made quite an impression in fall camp thus far.
With Sean Dollars overcoming a knee injury, Cardwell may have secured a prominent role in the backfield for years to come. He’s not going to start over CJ Verdell or Travis Dye, but he’s going to carve out a nice workload in the backfield in 2021, assuming Dollars takes some time to adjust.
