Bryan Addison
Bryan Addison isn’t supposed to be playing defense. He came to the Ducks as a wide receiver, and only made the switch last year when it became clear that Oregon needed help on that side of the ball.
As he’s grown in the safety position, it’s become more and more clear that he can be a meaningful piece for the Ducks. On Saturday, he had the first interception of his career, sealing the game for Oregon.
“I know that he was a receiver a year ago came over in the springtime and has been really working hard to understand what we’re doing,” Tim DeRuyter said. “We’ve seen it in practice that he’s been making more and more plays and for him to you know, get a pick the other day and be as productive as he’s been the last couple of weeks.”
Oregon’s defense has been dealing with some injuries in the secondary which have paved the way for Addison to step up. Fortunately, he’s proven that he’s able to do so.
