CORVALLIS – As Oregon State cornerback Treston Decoud wraps up his two-year college career Saturday in the Civil War against Oregon, he expects to take a deep dive into the archive of photos on his iPhone 6s.
The search will be for a screenshot he saved from nearly two years ago, one that he rarely looks at but of which the memory has long stuck in his mind.
The picture is of an email he received from a Ducks recruiting assistant on Dec. 17, 2014 when Decoud had wrapped up his lone season at Northwest Mississippi Community College.
