This time it's defensive players. We haven't had any defensive players from TX in awhile, besides Marcus Davis.

..
Side question who is our top producing NFL coach?
Neal produces some quality DBs, guys like Amoako will thrive under him. Plus they're from Texas, so they're automatically gonna be awesome for us. :lol:

Completely forgot about Wallace. Oregon is bound to get a few more as word gets out and the pipeline to TX is stronger.

Neither Wallace or Davis have played a down of football for us though. Wallace will change that but I think the last defender we picked up from the south prior to them was Brian Truelove out of GA who ended up at PSU and Ryan Gilliam from FL who ended up back at USF.

Brian Jackson is from Alabama, but the point is correct. Defensive players in general tend to play close to home.

I once went through scout and rival looking at several past years to chart where their top defensive prospects in each position eventually landed and location, location location carried the day. Rule of thumb is top D-Players like big name programs in their home state or a border state.

Good news, hopefully they make it out and the commits stick.

How many DBs will Oregon be taking this year. It seems like we have a million of them now.

We do need some safeties so they'll probably fill those spots. Plus, you can never have enough CBs.

Edit: DuckTerritory does say they play different positions in the secondary.
