Byron Cardwell, No. 1 running back in West region, commits to Oregon Ducks, likely clinches Pac-12 Conference recruiting title

https://www.oregonlive.com/recruiting/2021/01/byron-cardwell-no-1-running-back-in-west-region-commits-to-oregon-ducks-likely-clinches-pac-12-conference-recruiting-title.html
βAccording to 247Sports national recruiting analyst Greg Biggins, Cardwell compares to NFL star Melvin Gordon:
βShows off nice combination of size, quickness and power. Has very good hands out of the backfield and is versatile enough to play in all situations. Has the speed to hit the home run and pick up big chunks of yards but the strength and toughness to run between the tackles and pick up yards after contact. Thick upper body and elusiveness makes him tough to bring down in the open field and he catches the ball well enough to play some slot receiver. Projects as a impact upper tier Power 5 starter and future high round NFL draft pick.β
With Cardwellβs commitment, USCβs push to clinch the top spot in the Pac-12 Conference recruiting rankings is almost certain to fall short, meaning Oregon is expected to finish with the conference recruiting crown for the third consecutive year.
Overall, Oregonβs class remains at No. 6 nationally, but creates further separation from No. 7 Texas A&M, who was arguably No. 2 in the battle for the San Diego star.
The pledge also highlights the programβs growth as a recruiting power.β -

He was pretty well here. It will always be remembered and be played on video at Autzen along with The Pick.IPukeOregonGrellow said:

Iβve never understood poasters who do nothing but complain about the team they allegedly support. Itβs weird. Must be some sort of masochism.ntxduck said:

Healthy is the key word, and it seems like he's "healthy" for maybe 2-3 games a season. Travis Dye is a scat back without the wiggle, nothing more. I'm excited to see more of Dollars. That kid has speed and a little bit of shake as well.IPukeOregonGrellow said:

He has rushed for over 1,000 yards in each of his 2 full seasons-averaging around 5.5 yards per carryIPukeOregonGrellow said:

Thatβs simply not good enough for a former All-American such as @ntxduck. The man has standards.DJDuck said:

Maybe Dollars, Benson and Cardwell add to the total next year. But we don't deal in hypotheticals. -
Looks a little overweight to me.
