When Royce Freeman talks, people listen. The soft-spoken sophomore running back for the Oregon Ducks commands a lot of respect and attention both on and off the field. Next Monday, Oregon takes the practice field as fall camp starts and Freeman will be in the spotlight, leading Oregon's highly potent running game.
Royce Freeman was a Freshman All-American last year after racking up 1,365 net yards of rushing and 18 touchdowns plus another TD receiving. Standing 5-11, weighing 230 pounds, he is all muscle. Last year, he had six games in which he rushed for over 100 yards culminating in a 169-yard day against Washington.
