Willie Taggart met with reporters at the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex on Monday morning for his weekly press conference as the Oregon Ducks prepare to open the 2017 season.
The Ducks will host Southern Utah on Sept. 2 at Autzen Stadium in Taggart's first game as the Ducks' coach.
Taggart released the first depth chart of the season and listed 12 true freshman from the class of 2017 across offense, defense and special teams.
In the video above, Taggart gives an injury update on a few players who would normally be on the depth chart and explains why Royce Freeman and Henry Mondeaux were named team captains for the season.
