Chris Seisay was expected to compete for the Oregon Ducks in Fall Camp, but ten days ago, announced he was leaving the Oregon Football team. It was not because of injury, but in reading between the lines, there was an issue with the level of trust on Defense with Seisay and the Coaching Staff. There was another reason too. He wanted to switch sides of the ball.
On Wednesday, a picture surfaced on Twitter of Seisay with his new team. The Former Oregon Duck signed with the Portland State Vikings according to KATU News. Seisay will also play Wide Receiver for the Vikings. The Wideout position with Oregon is well documented and deep entering this season.
