Freshman Running Back Brandon Smith Shines | Oregon Ducks Football News

Oregon’s running back future just got a major upgrade with freshman Brandon Smith, a four-star recruit from Fresno, already making waves in fall camp. Standing at 6’2”, weighing 203 pounds, Smith boasts explosive speed and power, racking up over 2,000 rushing yards and 32 touchdowns in high school. Teammates like Dierre Hill Jr. are comparing him to Saquon Barkley, while linebacker Devon Jackson says he “torched” defenses in practice. Despite not being the top-rated freshman RB, Smith’s early impact suggests he could debut against Boise State on Sept. 5 — and possibly be the Ducks’ secret weapon right out of the gate.
