Walter Thurmond's Career At Oregon Ends
Oregon CB Walter Thurmond’s career as an Oregon Duck is over. Oregon’s best defensive back, and Jim Thorpe watchlist candidate, injured his knee during the opening kickoff Saturday against California, a game that Oregon won convincingly 42-3. An MRI was done earlier today and it was decided that Thurmond would need to undergo season ending surgery.
Thurmond has had an illustrious career at Oregon and had a strong start to the 2009 season by scoring two touchdowns in three games. One was off of a punt return while the other was on an interception. He also is the only non-offensive player at Oregon to score 5 touchdowns. Oregon will most definitely miss the versatility that he brought to the Ducks.
