QUAAACK: Sheldon QB Brock Thomas is a Duck
The NCAA limits roster size to 105 players until the first game or the start of classes after which it increases to either 115 or 125 (NCAA rules are difficult to find). Scholarships are limited to 85 so the vast majority of D-1 teams will have between 20 to 40 non-scholarship players each year. Although it is possible for a walk on to perform well enough to earn a full ride is is extremely rare, those that rise to stardom are few and far between. There is a reason everybody knows Stetson Bennet was a walk on---it is a story that is newsworthy, certainly not the norm. Maybe Brock Thomas will defy astronomical odds but I think it highly unlikely.

Another 5* Enters Portal, Has Lanning Connection
Some comments on Georgia boards that he reportedly almost left mid-season due to home sickness. Seems several posters expect him to end up at one of his home state Florida schools. Committed to Ohio State then changed his mind a few months later. Enrolled at Georgia and changed his mind a few months later. A true freshman is just a kid so not surprising.

Cam McCormick Enters Transfer Portal
Maybe, but with all the pain he endured and the effort he gave to rehabilitate himself from multiple injuries I seriously doubt that is the case

Cam McCormick Enters Transfer Portal
Sorry to see him leave but I can't be mad at the young man, he gave his all for the team. Maybe Oregon doesn't offer a doctorate program in his chosen field?

Sonny Dykes was fired by Cal Berkeley because he didn't win. Look at him now. Maybe Wilcox doesn't get the credit he is due.

IF that is an accurate quote by the Michigan writer (color me skeptical) is is obvious he has never visited Oregon.

Should the Ducks Fly With the Freakish 5-Star Athlete, Nyckoles Harbor?
NCAA rules require a scholarship be charged to football if a two sport athlete plays a single snap. Further men's track is only allowed 12.6 scholarships. You can't give a full ride to a single athlete in track unless he is a Steve Prefontaine level performer.

What to Expect from a Will Stein Lead Ducks Offense
Is Harbor an outstanding football player or a freakish athlete who happens to play football because he is really to big to be a track sprinter? I'm not talented enough to evaluate film highlights.
