The Oregon Ducks have one of the best up and coming defenses in college football. Even losing such a high caliber player such as senior linebacker Troy Dye to the NFL Draft, the cupboard is far from bare in Eugene. The Ducks have some super talented young pieces that they will build around and keep them in the hunt, for not only a PAC-12 Championship each year but a BCS Playoff spot as well. Let’s take a look at the stars that will carry this team over the next two to three years.
No surprises here. The three top tier defensive ends are as talented as they are tenacious. Danielle Hunter lead all defensive ends in 2019, with Cameron Heyward and Joey Bosa nipping at his heels. Hunter and Bosa are only 24 years old, while Heyward is the grown man of the bunch at 30. Looking forward, I expect the two young superstar pass rushers (Bosa and Hunter) to consistently lead the league in IDP production for the next few years, barring injury.

Up first is the defensive tackle position, and we head to Buffalo, to discuss 2nd-year guy, Harrison Phillips. If you have been following me, then you know I was high on him coming out of Stanford. As a rookie, he played in all sixteen games but had zero starts. Harrison was buried on the depth chart behind veterans, Kyle Williams and Star Lotulelei. He outperformed Lotulelei and with Williams now retired; he’s a prime candidate to step into a starting role.
