EUGENE, Ore. — Marcus Harper has been known to wax poetic about a wide-range of topics. Anytime the Duck senior is around a microphone, he aims to put on a show. An appearance on Oregon's weekly coaches show a year ago, saw him tell his life story in an unorthodox manner, offering up a food progression instead.

How he's performed so far: Jaden Williams is battling for one of the starting spots on the Bobcats this season. "Looking at the strength and weakness of the team, without a doubt they are a strength of this team," head coach GJ Kinne said. "You have guys like Joey [Hobert], Kole Wilson, Jayden Williams and then the young guys like Chris Dawn [Jr.]. That group is pretty special, and they have to continue to go out there and make plays."

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.

The 247Sports Team Talent Composite ranking has been updated for the 2024 season, the 10th year of its release. It's a tool that examines and ranks every FBS team based on how their players ranked in high school. The ranking does account for departures or additions to the rosters, but the 2024 Team Talent Composite does not yet consider 247Sports' transfer rankings, instead using the high school ranking for transfers. To simplify it, the Team Talent Composite ranks the star power of each roster.
