PLAYERS: LaMichael James
TEAMS: Oregon Ducks

LaMichael James wants to take one more shot at winning the Pac 12, winning the national title, winning the Heisman Trophy, having an undefeated season, and enjoying the college experience.  All of these elements led to him announcing his return to the University Of Oregon for his senior season. Commenting on his decision to return for school for his senior season, James recently stated, “I’m a team guy. I love my teammates. Me not playing with those guys next year would be devastating to me.” It is great that the Pac 12 will have Matt Barkley and LaMichael James in the conference next season and hopefully they both can stay healthy. With James leadership on the field, it will definitely be difficult for any opponent to find a way to beat the Oregon Ducks next season.
