Curtis White Leaves Program, Other Duck Stuff

Curtis White

In my spring preview of Oregon's receivers, I also mentioned the TE's, albeit to a lesser extent.  It is, however, an important part in Chip Kelly's offense and should not be overlooked.  The Ducks lose a good one in David Paulson, and finding a replacement will be crucial, which is what makes the recent news about Curtis White all the more difficult.


Former 5 star recruit Curtis White, who is from Eugene, recently announced his retirement from the program due to chronic injuries.


The news means, Oregon's depth at TE takes a hit, and finding a replacement to fill the shoes of David Paulson even more important.


That task will likely be given to another blue chip recruit Oregon landed at TE, in Colt Lyerla, a 5 star recruit from the 2010 class.
