Oregon Football Spring Preview: Safety
Today I'm continuing my spring position preview with a look at the safeties. Yesterday I examined the cornerbacks, which is headlined by Washington transfer Jabbar Muhammad.
The safety group might be the biggest question mark on Oregon's defense heading into spring practice, but it's not for a lack of talent. 2023 was a tough year for the Oregon safeties, as they were without veteran Bryan Addison for a majority of the season. He's now at UCLA.
Evan Williams was solid overall, but had to play a lot of games with a heavy club, which limited him in some capacity. Steve Stephens IV exhausted his eligibility and will now take his shot at the NFL.
Overall, one of the biggest challenges this group faced was pass coverage, which was no small task when you were contending with the caliber of wide receivers the Pac-12 had in its final year.
Let's take a look at the names to know for Oregon at safety.
Kobe Savage
Tysheem Johnson
Khamari Terrell
Tyler Turner
