ESPN Ranks Two Oregon Players in College Football's Top Ten
We are at the midway point so ESPN has decided to do an early ranking. They decided to rank the ten best players in all of college football.
And Oregon has two in the top ten.
Here was the main criteria for the rankings.
“ESPN compiled its ranking based on a combination of each player’s impact on the field, their potential for the second half and their overall talent and ability to change the game.”
As expected Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel made the list. He was ranked as the No. 5 player in all of college football. (Good thing Oklahoma let him go.)
The surprise was seeing Oregon defensive lineman Derrick Harmon round out the top ten. Which really speaks to the type of season he has had at Oregon. I’m not sure any player on the Oregon roster has seen their NFL stock rise more than Harmon at the mid-season point.
Here are the top ten players, according to ESPN. Who is missing from this list?
- RB Ashton Jeanty – Boise
- QB Cam Ward – Miami
