Duck RB stays home

December 21, 2016

Ducks’ RB Freeman to return for senior year … In something of a surprise, Oregon junior RB Royce Freeman will reportedly return to school for his senior season next fall. Freeman had been considered to be one of the top 4-5 runners likely to be available in the 2017 draft, but he’s coming off an injury-plagued year in 2016 when he ran a career low 945 yards and with so many other good backs out there this year may feel his best bet for a big payday is to retrun to school and have a big year next fall.
