It just makes sense…doesn’t it?
On Monday morning, just a couple of hours after former Oregon running back CJ Verdell announced that he would be departing for the 2022 NFL draft, freshman RB Seven McGee had an announcement of his own to make.
That announcement was that he would be taking ownership of the No. 7 jersey at Oregon in 2022 and making it his own.
Like I said, it just makes sense.
McGee, who had a combined 21 touches for 145 yards and a touchdown in his true freshman season with the Ducks, it set to see a much bigger workload in the future with both Verdell and Dye now off the roster. Many believe that McGee will fit well in a slot-receiver/running back hybrid role, much like De’Anthony Thomas back in his days.
While we will have to wait and see how Dan Lanning and Kenny Dillingham plan to use him in the offense, we won’t have to wait to see if he will be wearing his namesake on his chest.
