The Oregon Ducks have left the pond of the Pac 12 and landed in a lake by joining the Big Ten Conference. Along with the move come a world of expectations, especially for a team that will have plenty of new faces in their starting offense.
The wide receiver room is being recruited heavily, but this year’s group in particular carries plenty of intrigue, but fireworks should still be expected from one of the top offenses in the country last year. Let’s get to know the names that will be hauling in passes from new starting quarterback Dillon Gabriel.
Starting X wide receiver: Traeshon Holden
Last year, Traeshon Holden transferred to Oregon from Alabama, playing in all 14 games. He wasn’t a huge part of the offense in terms of target share and receiving yards, only catching 37 passes for 452 yards, but he found the end zone plenty – Holden had 6 receiving touchdowns and 1 rushing touchdown.
At 6’3″ 208 lbs, Holden is going to line up on the outside and use his size and speed to help stretch the field. Holden brings the size and physical element to this wide receiver room.
