Along with Penei Sewell and Deommodore Lenoir, the great Thomas Graham Jr. has announced his decision to leave for the 2021 NFL draft.
Thank you for everything

Graham Jr. was a four-year starter and showed marked improvement every season as a field corner. During his junior season, the 5-foot-11, 193-pound cornerback led the FBS in passes defended with 40 and pass breakups with 32. He finished his junior season with 47 tackles, two interceptions, a forced fumble and 12 pass breakups.
The talented defensive back shored up a shaky position for the Ducks, and his return was one reason why many analyst’s praised the 2020 Oregon defense. Though the circumstances are unfortunate, we support Graham Jr’s decision! Once a Duck, always a Duck!
