Troy Franklin talks year two with Bo Nix, Ty Thompson growth, and Will Stein’s offense

Troy Franklin talked to media for the first time in months on Thursday. He dished about Will Stein’s offense, and which CBs have impressed him so far.

There’s a nice mix of returning faces and new additions for the Oregon Ducks this season. While almost half of the roster has been turned over, and over 40 recruits or transfers are now on the team, some of the top performers from the 2022 season will be in Eugene again this year.

Among them are QB Bo Nix, WR Troy Franklin, RB Bucky Irving, and TE Terrence Ferguson.

We got our first chance to talk to Franklin, Oregon’s leading WR from last season, on Thursday afternoon following the Ducks’ fourth spring practice of the year. It gave us a chance to discuss what Franklin had been working to improve over the offseason, how his chemistry with Nix is growing, and what his new role in the Will Stein offense.

It resulted in some great insights and quotes from the junior WR. Here are a few of the most notable things Franklin said.
