Jarret LaCoste brings Oregon rare backfield burst and quick-hit explosiveness
Jarret LaCoste stands out as the Ducks’ quickest, fastest back, giving him clear value as a change-of-pace runner who can stress defenses with sudden acceleration and big-play potential. Oregon listed him at running back, and in 2016 he logged 11 carries for 57 yards, including a career-long 13-yard run against Washington[2]. A 247Sports spring review specifically called him the fastest, quickest Duck at the position, which makes him the kind of athlete coaches like when they want tempo, spacing, and a spark rather than just volume[1].
