Last Fall, the Quacking the Roster series covered twelve players whom we had film on from previous seasons but weren’t starters in 2019, and I previewed Oregon’s candidates to replace their entire offensive line. After a 2020 season with only seven games played in very unusual circumstances, the best thing we can take away is a lot more tape on these potential new starters. All 18 of these Ducks return in 2021 and will be working to get starting jobs as Spring ball starts up tomorrow, so let’s review how they did last year.
I’m breaking them up into three categories based on how they played in 2020: guys who in my opinion locked down a starting job at a particular position, those who have some promising film but might be in a battle for serious playing time, and the unknowns who remain mysteries this Spring.
