Filling in the holes
Oregon beefs up the offensive line with JC transfers
By Steve Turcotte
(X the Emerald
When injuries played havoc on the Duck
offensive line, the men in the offensive trenches
were quick to receive most of the blame for
Oregon's gridiron failures last year
Players like Mike Delegato, Scott Sheperd,
Rick Price, Gary Zimmerman and Brian Castle
were all felled by injuries and thus, the offensive
line had about as many starting lineups as the
Dallas Cowboys have offensive plays
So when the Oregon coaches started
recruiting players for the upcoming season, they
were looking for athletes who fill those holes in
the offensive line
Duck coach Rich Brooks, who does not like
to recruit junior college football players, pulled a
reverse this year and nabbed three prime junior
college offensive linemen The three — Ed
Stringer, Ray Wheatley and Steve Jenson — all
have two years of junior college experience and
plenty of size to go along
According to offensive line coaches Neal
Zoumboukos and Steve Greatwood, the three are
making the adjustment from junior college foot
ball to the major college level right on schedule
"Both Ed and Ray have progressed very well
so far," said Greatwood, who coaches Stringer
and Wheatley "Both seem to be making the
adjustment from different levels very well."
“Steve is a great young man," says Zoum
boukos, who coaches Jenson. "He is a very
intelligent player and a very hard worker He is not
terribly fast but he is quick. That's good for an
offensive lineman, but an exceptional player on
the line will have quickness and be fast ”
Stringer, who came from Orange Coast Jun
ior College, is listed at the No 1 spot on the
Duck’s depth chart at left tackle, where he is
battling, among five others, returning letterman
Jeff Pew
Wheatley and Jenson, on the other hand, are
listed third on the depth chart, Wheatley at right
tackle and Jenson at right guard But that's not to
say that the pair will be sitting on the bench once
the season unfolds next September
"I'm glad I made the decison to come here,"
said Jenson, the 6-4, 255-pound lineman from Mt.
San Antonio College "Oregon is a good school
and I like Eugene “
"Here, it’s a lot more intense than junior
college football I think the Pac-10 is the best
football conference
"Things are going better than they were last
term," chuckled Wheatley, a 6-5, 265-pound
offensive lineman from College of the Siskyous in
Weed, Calif "Practice-wise, things are getting
easier because we re learning all the time."
Both Jenson and Wheatley are optimistic
about their chances for a starting role with the
Ducks
"I'm battling with a couple of other guys for a
spot,” Jenson said "It’s going to be a growing
experience. I think I'll have to have patience I'm
just going to do my best with the ability the Lord
has given me
"But I didn't come here to sit on the bench "
Wheatley agrees
"I think I can play,” Wheatley said "I think I
will feel comfortable wherever they put me
"I like competition It makes you work hard
Everyone makes everyone else play harder. I
hope I have a good shot at a starting spot I can
only go out and perform to the best of my ability "
Wheatley's story is an interesting one in that
he is from Spruce Grove in Canada (near Ed
monton) and almost became a hockey player
instead of a football player
"I had to make the decision my senior year
because the two sports conflicted," Wheatley
said "In hockey, they wanted me to be a goon —
someone to go out and get in fights I really didn't
want to do that. I chose football because I guess I
prefer it, although I do like them both."
