The Oregon Ducks football team is gearing up for the upcoming season, and one key area of focus is the quarterback position. Athlon Sports recently took a look at how the Ducks are set up for progression at quarterback, which is a rare occurrence in college football.
Last season, Oregon had some uncertainty at the quarterback position with both Tyler Shough and Anthony Brown vying for the starting role. Ultimately, Shough won the job but transferred to Texas Tech in the offseason. This year, Brown is back and looking to solidify himself as the starting quarterback for the Ducks.
Brown will face competition for the starting role from freshman Ty Thompson, a highly touted recruit who could make an immediate impact for Oregon. Thompson has a strong arm and impressive accuracy, and could push Brown for the starting job.
The Ducks also have Jay Butterfield and Robby Ashford in the mix at quarterback, providing depth and options for head coach Mario Cristobal. Cristobal will have the task of choosing the best quarterback to lead Oregon’s offense this season.
Overall, the Ducks are in a good position at quarterback with multiple talented options to choose from. This depth and competition at the position will only serve to push each quarterback to perform at their best, ultimately benefitting the team as a whole.
As Oregon prepares for the upcoming season, all eyes will be on the quarterback position to see who emerges as the starter and leads the team to success on the field. With a talented group of quarterbacks vying for the job, the Ducks are poised for success this season.
