Running right back Thomas Tyner can get to Oregon this summer with the ongoing future of Oregon football on his shoulders. Sound a bit overstated? Well, perhaps not if you read on the accolades the kid provides with him to the Ducks. Or if the impressive physical tools are considered by you he will be putting straight away to the Oregon backfield. Add the fact that he's a local baby who's been following the Ducks for years now, and well, you have a recipe for a potential superstar. At 6'0" 220 pounds (he is added weight in accordance with an update from oregon.247sports), he has the body to physically manhandle defenders whether it is utilising the stiff-arm or bulldozing his way forward. Arm discusses aren't planning to assist Tyner. In addition to his larger body, he gives top notch pace, which on paper, is quicker than LaMichael James or Kenjon Barner. Think De'Anthony Thomas if he were several inches taller and about 30-35 pounds heavier. He might not have these quick reductions in his repertoire that we have become accustomed to viewing from DAT, but his speed alone has fans giddy with pleasure. So with all that out of the way, the only real real question is what type of impact may Tyner have in his freshman season? After all, nonsense can only take you up to now. There are people like Jadeveon Clowney who appear with huge nonsense and straight back that up from the moment they step on campus. Then there are the others, like Bryce Brown (who, to be good, has found an invest the NFL), who never appear to easily fit in on a college campus. Let us start with using a systematic approach to predicting what sort of research Thomas Tyner could have in year one. Between Kenjon Barner, Marcus Mariota, De'Anthony Thomas and Byron Marshall, the Ducks totaled 563 carries. Barner had 278 of those carries, and he's alone of that foursome not on the group any further. Therefore where can these bears get? Well, De'Anthony can obviously get yourself a decent share of these, let's say 165 for the time being. That places him at precisely 12-15 per game (in 12 games), and 's almost double what he'd last year. Byron Marshall may also be seeing far more carries, and I believe a prediction for him is right around 200. That would be nearly 17 holds per game, significantly more than twice his volume from 2012. Then there is Marcus Mariota, and I do not know that he will be owning a lot more in 2013. The reason of course, is he will have a serious group of receivers to put to, and while the offense may not seem substantially different, I'd be surprised if the passing attack wasn't used more frequently. That leaves about 90 pushes from Barner that remain unaccounted for, and that is where Tyner is available in. What he does with those bears will mainly rely on when he is getting them. I think he can put up some respectable totals, when they occur in the initial half with the overall game still close. But, when the defense knows what the Ducks are likely to do if they occur in trash time, he could not find the maximum amount of space. Then there's the matter of receptions, but I think that is anyone's guess. Therefore without further ado, here's what I really believe will (roughly) be Tyner's data his freshman season: 95 Carries for 750 yards and 9 TDs, 12 catches for 101 yards and 2 TDs, 1 fumble I added in the fumble since there is certain to be a "welcome to college football" moment where Tyner lets one fall away. So much of this can change by enough time Nicholls State comes in Eugene, but I am predicting a good, perhaps not spectacular begin to Tyner's career. Should the offense be grasped by him quickly, then he'll certainly have a go at 1,000 meters. However for right now, I am enjoying it rather safe and choosing the totals you see above. Obviously, I will be happy to be wrong if he shatters those figures. There is not much they can not do in his time at Oregon, with the kind of skill Thomas Tyner has.
