Ok, so I have mainly been a Ducks fan during the season, watch most games, but that's it. I want more. With my blazers I know year round everything that's going on from GM to the end of bench player. With the Ducks, I'm not looking to go that far, but I would love a better working knowledge of what's changing season to season. So, new coach, new players, old players new rolls, what to expect and follow as the ducks season nears.
Please help a brother out.

Tyrell Robinson and maybe 4* Offensive Lineman
Cameron Hunt
Redshirt Freshman/Names you might not know now, but will during Season.
WR- Bralon Addison played as a true Freshman, and has been tearing it up in spring and workouts, per reports.
Ultra Athletic Tight End -
Pharaoh Brown also reports of his excelling. Also played as True Freshman. I'm salivating at the thought of throwing 2 TE sets out there with him and Lyerla.
WR-
Chance Allen coming off a Redshirt year. been hearing good things about him in workouts.
Thats just a few on players..
overall I expect a very good season, the continued continuity of coaches makes this transition a ton easier!
