Similarly to Tez Johnson rising to a top receiving role in 2023, I expect Gary Bryant Jr. to rise through the ranks this season. With Troy Franklin and Traeshon Holden both gone, a spot is created for Bryant to become a more consistent player.

Even with Evan Stewart joining Oregon’s receiving core, Bryant will play a large role in the offensive unit.

In 2023, Bryant played backup behind the trio of Franklin, Johnson, and Holden yet still churned out some impressive stats. With 30 receptions, Bryant racked up 442 yards and 4 touchdowns for the Ducks.

I believe that Bryant’s senior year will truly be one for the books.
