Player Bio
Hometown: Norco, CA (Norco HS)
Class: Senior
Arguably the Oregon Ducks most important player on the defensive side of the ball. Troy Dye wasn’t always the tenacious inside linebacker that Oregon fans have come to know and love. Recruited as a safety out of Norco, California, the three-star led his team in tackles as a senior with 105, finishing as co-defensive player of the year in the Big VIII League.
Only weighing 210 pounds as a high school senior, Dye committed to Oregon, putting on an extra 15 pounds of muscle in the midst of a position change.
