After John Boyett was declared out for the season following the Arkansas State game, the safety position became an immediate area of concern.
That concern was alleviated by the outstanding play of Brian Jackson, Avery Patterson and Erick Dargan. While all three players return next season, both Jackson and Dargan are entering their final year, and depth could become an issue with another serious injury.
Other guys like Isaac Dixon and Troy Hill helped out at the position, and several highly rated recruits, such as Reggie Daniels, will be available next season following a redshirt year.
Nonetheless, Oregon needs to find athletic, physical players to continue the tradition of hard-nosed play created by Patrick Chung, T.J. Ward and John Boyett.
None of the current commits are specified as safeties, but look for the Robinson twins and Chris Seisay to get looks at the position.
