At this point in the season, we spend a lot of time looking at the newer players on the roster, often looking at jersey numbers or positional changes ahead of spring football. A year ago, a lot of the buzz in Eugene was surrounding Jackson Powers-Johnson, and whether he would stick on the offensive line, or potentially play on the defensive line as he had in Oregon’s bowl game.
This year, there’s another positional question mark on the offensive line for the Ducks. The question now is where redshirt freshman Sir Mells is going to be lining up this spring, on offense or defense?
A recent picture of Mells at Oregon practice this week raised some eyebrows, with the freshman wearing a white offensive jersey, rather than a green defensive jersey. Some fans took notice, and Mells mother, who is a well-known personality on social media, got in on the action.
