After signing a pair of five-star linebackers in 2020 – Noah Sewell (Utah) and Justin Flowe (California) – the position wasn’t a particular need for Oregon.
But that didn’t stop the Ducks from locking up Lebanon High School star and All-American Bowl selection
Keith Brown early in the process.
Once rated the No. 1 inside linebacker nationally, Oregon’s lone in-state pledge is the No. 4 player at his position on Rivals - without a senior season to showcase his growth and development.
Paysonâs police chief is confident three officers involved in a fatal shooting last week will be back to work soon.
Chief Ron Tischer said they could be back as early as this week if a preliminary internal investigation shows the officers acted within the departmentâs protocols, they have met with a psychologist and they feel they are up to returning to duty.
Sgt. Justin Deaton and officers Jirhod Brennan and Max Farren were all put on administrative leave following the fatal shooting of Michael Romo, 28, on Jan. 4.
âAn initial review of the facts show that the officers did not violate any department policies,â Tischer said.

EUGENE By any measure, Wednesday’s early national signing day was a resounding success at Oregon for a third consecutive year.
Mario Cristobal and his staff are turning identifying elite talent, recruiting players to UO’s football palace in the Pacific Northwest and putting pen to paper into an annual display of one-upmanship with themselves and beginning to build a talent gap within the Pac-12. Oregon signed 20 players throughout Wednesday morning to the No. 6 class in the country in the 247Sports Composite, another program-best.

EUGENE ― Oregon signed 20 players to its 2021 recruiting class, the best in program history.
The Ducks’ class is ranked atop the Pac-12 for the third straight year and No. 6 nationally in the 247Sports Composite.
Four offensive linemen, a trio of heralded receivers, three outside linebackers, pairs of tight ends, safeties and cornerbacks and an inside linebacker, defensive tackle, quarterback and running back made up the class, which has room to add between now and February’s signing period.
