The Oregon Ducks are the FBS preseason No. 10 team and Ducks defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux is on the FBS Dream Team in the 2021 College Football America Yearbook, released last month.
The College Football America Yearbook Top 30 is part of the Top 130, which ranks every team in FBS. The Ducks come in at No. 10 after winning the Pac-12 after finishing behind Washington in the North Division. The Ducks advanced to the Pac-12 title game after the Huskies had to bow out due to COVID-19 protocols. The Ducks knocked off the USC Trojans, 31-24, to claim their second consecutive conference title. The Ducks finished 4-3 (3-2 in Pac-12).
The Dream Team is the Yearbook’s All-America Team. Put together like an 85-player FBS roster, Thibodeaux made the Starting Lineup as a defensive end. The Second-Team All-American in 2020 has been a dominant performer in the Pac-12 Championship game, where he’s had 18 quarterback pressures, 10 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and 3.5 sacks in two career games.
The Dream Team also has a ‘Freshman’ class, listing 25 of the best recruits in the Class of 2021.
The Dream Team is on Pages 19-20 of the Yearbook.
Finally, Thibodeaux and defensive back Mykael Wright made the Yearbook’s Pac-12 Preseason Starting Lineup, also featured in the Yearbook.
The 2021 College Football America Yearbook features eight pages of Pac-12 content, including an overall preview of the conference race, a spotlight piece on a stadium, the Pac-12 Starting Lineup, all team schedules and a half-page devoted to each program with stadium photos.
The College Football America 2021 Yearbook features more than 900 college football teams from the United States and Canada in more than 250 striking, full-color pages. That includes every team from the NCAA (FBS, FCS, Division II and Division III), NAIA, NJCAA, CCCAA and U Sports (Canada). It also includes updates on club football, one-year postgraduate prep/sports academies and Mexican college football, along with dozens of action shots and stadium photos taken by the CFA staff.
