Kayvon Thibodeaux was a high end starter at defensive end for the Oregon Ducks, one who always seemed to rise to the occasion in the big moments. As a true freshman, Thibodeax led the team in sacks (9.0) and tackles for loss (14.0). Overall, Thibodeaux collected 19.0 career sacks in 31 games, which ranks him 7th in program history.
Thibodeaux was the first defensive lineman at Oregon since DeForest Buckner to earn All-American honors, and he was clutch for the Ducks in pressure situations. Possessing a good blend of size, speed and power, Thibodeax has the traits to be a dominant player at the next level.
