The Ducks could be in good shape with a defensive back that is now fresh on the market. Miami Southridge (Fla.) safety Billy Gibson has been committed to Miami since February.

However he decided to back off that pledge Friday morning.

Oregon has offered and sources told me the Ducks were a serious player. In fact I even included him in a recent 'five most likely to quack' update.

The 6-foot-1, 185-pounder is very likely to visit Oregon in January, although a date is not set.
