    Four-star safety Devin Jackson commits to Oregon football

     

    Quote

    The Oregon Ducks have gone into the state of Florida and pulled in a massive commitment from one of their top targets in the defensive backfield. Four-star safety Devin Jackson, out of Orlando and The First Academy, announced on July 3rd that he'll be playing his college football starting in 2026 for the Ducks. He chose Oregon over 40 other scholarship offers that included schools like Nebraska, Miami, LSU, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, and Auburn.

    Even with the bigger NIL offer I'd be leery of TA&M just because of their recent history with trying to cobble together rosters with enormous amounts of money, didn't work out too well for Jimbo Fisher.

    Golden opportunity for certain players to make a big impression.  To my mind:

     

    Last chances

    - Gary Bryant Jr. (final year)

    - Jurrion Dickey (3 years now, time to show something)

    - Malik Benson (final year)

     

    Big chance to break out:

    - Kenyon Saddiq (could we see 1,000 yards?)

    - Dakorien Moore (500+ yards would be a stellar 1st year)

    - Kyler Kasper (showed potential before injury last season)

     

    I can understand why he put tOSU and PSU up so high.  However both of them are dealing with new DCs coming in which often leads to disruption for a while as the team adjusts to the new defensive schemes.  I think both will have spotty defensive performances for the first 4-5 games of the season which puts OBD's game with PSU right on that cusp...if Franklin's guys are still getting used to the new DC then our Ducks may have a better shot than expected over on their turf.
