Chung to wear #29 to honor Doxey

The Ducks have announced that Patrick Chung will wear Todd Doxey’s No. 29 jersey for Saturday’s game against Washington. The fifth-year senior captain, who is the physical and emotional leader of the secondary, had a special connection with Doxey in that the late redshirt freshman was thought to be his eventual successor at the rover position.

Chung is such a classy dude; I'm really glad he changed his mind about that whole NFL thing.

From Moseley's blog:

I spoke with a bunch of guys for a story to run Friday on the decision to outfit a player in deceased rover Todd Doxey’s No. 29 jersey this season. In short, the idea came from Patrick Chung and Walter Thurmond III, with the blessing of Doxey’s family; it’ll be used only for home games; the Ducks consulted with the Pac-10 and NCAA and found no objections to the idea; and the jersey will probably be rotated among the defensive backs
