Devon Allen is an all-American hurdler for the Oregon track team, coming into the program as a dual-sport athlete for the Ducks. While he’s found great success on the track, his football career has been derailed by injuries.

He was injured on the opening kickoff in the 2015 College Football Playoff semifinal vs Florida State, virtually missing the final two games of that season. He carried on with knee surgery but was limited all season long for the Ducks, only catching nine passes for 94 yards.

But after a full offseason of staying healthy, this is where Devon Allen will breakthrough. Despite Oregon returning a plethora of their receivers from last season, Allen will be a guy that should be used in the offense for a breakout play.
