Well Shit.
The good news is that our world class sprinter doesn't run on his hands. The bad news is that Gus will want him to block which will indeed require the use of his hands.
I was thinking more along the lines of catching the ball.
You assume any of the QBs on the roster can get the ball to him.
They all can...If they throw it from a two step drop.
Even with all 5 Senior OL?
Our entire O-Line is seniors? Holy shoot we are gonna have an issue next year.
Per OregonLive.com, senior Brenden Schooler will be out for 6 to 8 weeks as he recovers from a foot injury:Quote“He’s not only a great player, he’s a great leader,†Oregon coach Mario Cristobal said. “I feel terrible for him — we all do. Tremendous human being, off the charts, means a lot to the guys out there. Knowing him, he’s probably trying to squat and run today. He will try to get them back as fast as he can. He will, because he’s that type of guy. He’ll be around because his leadership is going to be needed, his mentorship in that room will be needed. Certainly, it’s a tough one to take because of what he means to this team.â€
