Most Improved Player Award
Winner: WR Devon Williams
(Previous Winner: Camden Lewis)
Zachary Neel: I really wanted to give this award to freshman WR Kris Hutson, but I would be doing so for the same reasons that we are giving it to Devon Williams, who is absolutely deserving. After being out of the rotation early in the season, Williams has stepped up and become Oregon’s No. 1 WR and shown great chemistry with Anthony Brown. He is the deep threat that Duck fans have been wanting so badly.
Don Smalley: Devon Williams. The receivers had a tough time finding their footing in the first half of the season. There wasn’t one go-to guy breaking out. But in the second half, Williams became that receiver everyone wanted when he came out of high school. Shout out to Camden Lewis for becoming a reliable placekicker. No one is nervous when he comes onto the field. That wasn’t the case a year ago.
Andy Patton: Williams is a great pick here in a wide receiver room that needed someone to step up, but if it weren’t for the Utah game this would be a slam dunk for Camden Lewis. I’ll still take the kicker who seemed to make dramatic improvements from last season when he was far from a lock to knock anything through the uprights. It’s been a nice story all season long.
