There's been a ton of buzz surrounding Oregon's trio of transfer portal receivers this fall, and understandably so. Traeshon Holden, Tez Johnson, and Gary Bryant Jr. are all high-caliber wideouts with proven track records of success at their previous stops. All three are competing for starting jobs in a 'loaded' receiver room that also features 5-star 2023 signee Jurrion Dickey. With all that excitement surrounding the Ducks' newcomers, though, the program's No. 1 receiver, junior Troy Franklin, is flying a bit under the radar at this point.
