Oregon has made its second key personnel hire. After hiring Stephen Field to be the director of recruiting, the Ducks are bringing back Thomas Arends as a player personnel director role.

Arends previously served on the Oregon staff under Chip Kelly as director of recruiting operations and high school relations.

At Baylor he was hired as associate director of player personnel.

The Ducks have now made two key personnel hires and will turn to graphic design and video to add more staff to the group.

Arends graduated from Oregon in 2012, this is his chance to return home and get to work.
