Toney Hurd

Says that the ducks and Notre Dame, Texas A&M are recruiting him the hardest. All speculation, but that could mean we are losing ground on another CB (Mathis?).

Either way, Hurd is a beast, and I'd love to get a visit from him.

Wow smart kid too..

Hurd plans on majoring in engineering and reports a 3.5 core GPA and a 1460 three-part SAT.

(Although the engineering plan could work against us)

Most players find majors like engineering and architecture hard to complete since they are so time intensive. I'm not saying it can't be done but it's not done too often. I know Roper tried an architecture major but ended up missing almost half of the practices his freshman year while he was redshirting due to class conflicts with practices. The only high level player that I can think of that completed an engineering degree was Mike Hass, but he doesn't really seem like he's going to be using it for a while.

Both programs are very intensive but only Architecture is offered @ Oregon. (Engineering @ OSU, PSU & OTI) If he plans to major in Engineering, we are out of the picture. If he likes us, he may have another major in mind.

If he wants engineering, out of his top 3, Texas A&M would be his best bet.

Not impossible to become a licenced engineer with a degree from Oregon.

Not impossible but very difficult. Also depends what field of Engineering(structural, civil, electrical, genetic, ...).

Maybe we're looking at him as a Free Safety? Ward is a Sr. after all.

Boyett plays Strong Safety. Rule #1 in recruiting, always recruit the best players you can, don't worry about who's starting or projected depth charts.

I mean, who thought we would be down to our True Frosh prized DB this year as our starter?

Same deal with this kid, Mathis, and A.Patterson from last years recruits. Get the best players you can, let competition, the season, and injuries sort 'em out later! ;)

Just depends on what he wants to do with the degree, architects are engineers. But like others have said to complete the program wile playing football is next to impossible.
