Oregon’s Offensive Line Bolstered by Experienced Veteran Matthew Bedford
Oregon’s offensive line has gained a valuable asset in sixth-year senior Matthew Bedford, who brings a wealth of experience from his time at Indiana, where he started 39 of his 41 career games.
Bedford is known for his leadership and maturity, which have been highly praised by his coaches. Offensive line coach A’lique Terry emphasized the positive energy and competitive spirit Bedford brings to the team.
Despite being a versatile player who has started at every position on the offensive line except center, Bedford prefers to play right guard, where Oregon had an opening.
Bedford has identified areas for improvement in his game and has been working diligently to refine his technique this spring. He values the process-oriented approach at Oregon and is focused on mastering the details of being an elite offensive lineman.
Bedford joins a talented offensive line that features senior starters Marcus Harper II and Ajani Cornelius, and junior standout Josh Conerly Jr., who contributed to the Ducks allowing the fewest sacks in the country for a second consecutive season.
Head coach Dan Lanning commends Bedford’s energy and physicality, noting that his positive demeanor has a positive impact on the team. With Bedford’s experience and leadership, Oregon’s offensive line is well-positioned to maintain its dominance and continue producing NFL-caliber talent.
