It it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? Arguably the best defensive player for the Oregon Ducks in 2022 was cornerback Christian Gonzalez, a former Colorado Buffalo who followed coach Demetrice Martin from Boulder to Eugene. The Ducks are going back to the well and trying to see if lightning will strike twice. On Monday, former Colorado cornerback Nikko Reed announced that he would be committing to the Ducks, following Coach Meat to Oregon and looking to crack his way into the starting lineup under Dan Lanning. In two seasons with Colorado, Reed became a big contributor and put up some impressive stats: Colorado Buffaloes 2021: 6 Games 7 tackles, 0.5 TFL, 1 INT, 1 PBU 2022: 12 Games 42 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 1 sack, 2 INT, 7 PBU Reed will have no shortage of competition for playing time in Eugene. The Ducks also brought in former Alabama CB Khyree Jackson this offseason, and have holdovers on the roster like Trikweze Bridges, Dontae Manning, and Jahlil Florence all competing for the starting spots on defense. The addition of Reed currently puts the Ducks over the 85-man scholarship limit, but there are a lot of personnel moves left to be made before the season starts this fall.

The last time that Oregon Ducks coach Demetrice Martin went into Boulder and brought one of his former Colorado Buffalo players to Eugene, it worked out pretty well. Dan Lanning and the Ducks have to be hoping that they can see lightning strike twice, working hard to land a transfer from former Colorado cornerback Nikko Reed, who was in Eugene for a visit this past weekend.

The Pac-12 could end up partnering with ESPN and Fox — more on that momentarily — but it probably would not be a simple renewal of the existing agreement.

Another is Greg Swaim, a radio personality who has 67,000-plus followers on Twitter. He posted the following on Wednesday: “Expect a move from #Buffs and #BearDownjust after Memorial Day.
