44. Travis Dye: Duck Mindfulness

Junior running back Travis Dye comes from a very athletic family, with football being the sport of excellence for the family. But it wasn’t always that way. And when football became the go-to sport for the family, a lightly recruited Travis decided to come to Oregon to play with his brother Troy, who was a Duck star in his own right. He excelled early in Eugene, mainly due to his desire to live in his own light and not his brother’s shadow. His excellence has continued, and in 2020, he led the team in rushing and was the only player in the Pac-12 to record at least 400 yards rushing and 200 yards receiving. Dye’s time at Oregon has enabled him to gather wisdom beyond his years and a mentality that allows him to be free and clear on the football field to achieve things he didn’t think he could accomplish. This week’s episode of the Mighty Oregon Podcast presented by the Oregon Community Credit Union is another special edition with guest host Verone McKinley III.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
