No. 30 - Jonah Moi

The linebacker earned his playing time with a stellar effort at fall training camp

A solid, consistent senior presence from the linebacker spot is important for this young team

No. 27 - A.J. Hotchkins

The JuCo transfer has a nose for the football at linebacker and he got his feet wet last year

Strong defensive end opposite Jelks who can provide boost if the captain is consistent

No. 23 - Jalen Jelks

Talented defender with a body made to disrupt quarterbacks on the end

No. 22 - Jordon Scott

Pagano’s “backup” is arguably a more-talented, less-experienced true freshman starter-type

No. 21 - Jake Pisarcik

Second of two senior starting o-linemen with National Championship experience

No. 20 - Scott Pagano

When healthy, he’s an elite defender that will cause major destruction

No. 19 - Johnny Johnson III

When No. 1 WR Charles Nelson leaves the program after the year, it will be JJ3’s job

No. 18 - Calvin Throckmorton

No matter if it’s on offense or defense, starting or not; he’s a great athletic football player

The starting tight end is primed for a breakout season in his sophomore campaign

No. 15 - Aidan Schneider

Currently one of the best and most-accurate kickers in college football

No. 14 - Jake Hanson

The man in the middle who keeps it running smoothly on the offensive line

No. 13 - Deommodore Lenoir

The duo of him and TG could rival any true freshmen cornerback-combo in the land

No. 12 - Ugo Amadi

Not many people worked harder than Amadi this summer, he is a natural born leader

No. 11 - Shane Lemieux

Another talented offensive lineman with a future at the next level

No. 10 - Thomas Graham Jr.

The true freshman is listed as the starting cornerback opposite Arrion Springs for Week 1

No. 9 - Tony Brooks-James

One of the most talented backs in the nation that is NOT a starter, regardless he will play a lot

No. 8 - Tyree Robinson

The senior hybrid is the head of the snake on defense when he’s healthy and on the field

No. 7 - Arrion Springs

The ever-improving No. 1 cornerback on a young, but deep and evolving secondary

No. 6 - Justin Hollins

A freaky athlete that could make the difference this season on defense

No. 5 - Tyrell Crosby

He has NFL offensive lineman written all over him, this is his swan song

No. 3 - Charles Nelson

One of the most explosive athletes in the country, primed to break out

No. 2 - Troy Dye

There is no question of Oregon’s most-talented defender, he only gets better in ‘17

No. 1 - Royce Freeman

After this season, he could be the No. 1 back in Oregon history and No. 1 RB in ‘18 NFL Draft

It all begins in less than 24 hours. Everyone's expectations for this season are different, but one thing is common; a belief that the program is heading in the right direction again. Not many can argue with the No. 1 recruiting class for 2018 without playing a single snap this campaign. It says something about the character of Willie Taggart.
