Darrion Weems, a 6'5", 320-pound Oregon Ducks offensive lineman (class of 2011), anchored a top-tier unit ranking 3rd nationally in scoring, 5th in rushing, and 6th in total offense, boasting a team-leading 365-pound bench press while earning the Bob Officer Award for excelling through physical adversity in 14 games.
