Oregon basketball player Dwayne Benjamin to join football program

The Oregon receiving corps added some height Thursday, as basketball standout Dwayne Benjamin announced he's joining the Ducks football program.

The 6-foot-7, 210-pound forward averaged 7.8 points and three rebounds in this season's run to the Elite Eight, but hasn't played football since high school. He announced his decision on Twitter using a photo of his high school football days.

Adding Benjamin's height and leaping ability to an explosive receiving corps already featuring Darren Carrington, Devon Allen, and Dwayne Stanford should work wonders for the Ducks offense next season.
