Tracking Oregon's true freshmen through Week 12 of 2023 season
During Oregon’s blowout win over Arizona State on Saturday, Ducks’ defensive back Cole Martin produced his best performance of the season.
Martin played a team-high 41 defensive snaps, grabbed his first career interception, and led Oregon with five solo tackles.
“I was really proud of Cole Martin,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said. “To go out there and perform the way he did — he’s a dynamic player. He’s a guy who is productive when he’s on the field. He shows up. He’s going to be around the ball. I think that’s something that’s hard to coach.”
The former 4-star signee was one of 13 Oregon true freshmen who saw the field in Tempe.
Here’s a rundown of which Ducks logged snaps in Week 12, based on the participation chart released by UO.
Season game totals for each of Oregon’s true freshmen are also included. All snap counts are via Pro Football Focus. At the time of publication, Week 12 special teams snap counts were not available.
