Arizona v Oregon — EUGENE, OR - NOVEMBER 18: Running back Tony Brooks-James #20 of the Oregon Ducks runs with the ball during the second half of the game against the Arizona Wildcats at Autzen Stadium on November 18, 2017 in Eugene, Oregon. The Ducks won the game 48-28.

New Duck football commit, Mycah Pittman discusses why he chose the Ducks over what he had long considered his front runner, Florida. His mind began to change on a visit to Eugene but still required heavy effort from the Oregon staff. Pittman’s commit moves Oregon to 4th nationally in the recruiting rankings.

Duck Territory previews fall camp at running back. CJ Verdell is projected to earn the back up spot behind presumed starter Tony Brooks James.

Oregon has hired a new women’s cross country coach, replacing the second half of the Powell team that left to Uw. Helen Lehmen-Winters was hired from the University of San Francisco where she has been the head track and cross country coach for 15 years.
