The 2022 college football season could be the year of the linebacker as there are many linebackers across the country that have NFL scouts salivating over their potential.
Our friends over at On3.com have ranked the Top 10 linebacker groups in the country, and the Ducks represent themselves quite well among teams such as Alabama, Georgia and Notre Dame.
The linebacker spot should be a strength for the Ducks. Under the tutelage of head coach Dan Lanning and defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi, players such as Noah Sewell and Justin Flowe should go to the next level as far as on-the-field play is concerned.
We have the list below and we have included each player’s career stats. Unless Oregon meets Alabama in the College Football Playoff, thankfully the Ducks will not have to face Will Anderson, Jr, whose statistics fly off the chart.
Oregon does have to face Georgia, however, and although the Bulldogs lost a great deal of talent off last year’s national championship squad, they have the ability to replace that talent with more five-star recruits.
