Four Ducks Selected On Day Two Of NFL Draft EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon tight end Terrance Ferguson was selected in the second round of the NFL Draft on Friday while defensive end Jordan Burch, defensive tackle Jamaree Caldwell and quarterback Dillon Gabriel were all taken in the third round. Ferguson went to the Los Angeles Rams in the second round with the No. 46 overall pick, becoming the highest-drafted tight end out of Oregon since Russ Francis was the 16th overall pick in 1975. Burch was taken by the Arizona Cardinals with the No. 78 overall selection, and Caldwell followed shortly after to the Los Angeles Chargers with the 86th overall pick. Eight picks later, Gabriel was selected by the Cleveland Browns at No. 94 overall. Oregon has had six players picked through the first two days of the draft, after Derrick Harmon was the No. 21 overall pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers and Josh Conerly Jr. was the 29th selection by the Washington Commanders on Thursday. It is the first time in program history that Oregon has had more than four players selected through the first three rounds of the NFL Draft.

4-2 Ducks win! Seth Mattox came in for the ninth inning to get over his pitch on Tuesday that lost to Portland. He threw some pitches tonight that started at shoulder-height, and then appeared to go outside, but then veered inside to brush the corner of the plate--whew! He got some ground-outs to beat Beavis!

4-2 Ducks after eight innings, as The Pride of Sherwood Oregon, Ian Umlandt came in and got two outs, and then walked two. Then Cole Stokes, (a recovering-confidence-pitcher) threw a 98 mph fast-ball in the corner of the plate to stop the Oregon State rally.

4-2 Ducks after seven innings as Grayson Grinsell snuffs out the Oregon State batters, and sets a personal pitch count record of 117 pitches. What an effort! Then Jacob Walsh sends another over the wall to increase the lead....can Our Beloved Ducks do it?

3-2 Ducks after six innings, as Grayson Grinsell is pitching a gem. He has a high pitch count...but it looks like he is coming out for the seventh? Can he hold up? Whew! (Beavis stops us again as we strand two runners)

3-2 Ducks after five innings, as Oregon left the bases-loaded...stranded! Oregon has picked up bunch of stolen bases today, so they saw something with the Beavis pitcher that tipped them off. When Jacob Walsh is stealing a base...

3-2 Ducks after four innings, as Grayson Grinsell creates a sweet double-play, (6-4-3) and then strikes out the next Oregon State batter. Anson Aroz got a walk then a second walk for the good-guys, and a stolen base earlier by Aroz...and with a successful double-steal of second and third base, thus...the table was set. The Pride-of-Portland, Ryan Cooney, did not disappoint, as he hit a two-run scoring double to give Oregon the lead!

2-1 Beavis after three innings. Oregon's Grayson Grinsell started out great, but they got to him in the third inning. Meanwhile Mason Neville blasted a homer to nearly the top of the baseball practice facility.

Agreed. While we don't like these hits....Dan will get it done. When you consider what he had to do when he got here--he has proved he can get it done in the portal if need be. Not ideal, but this year's offensive line is going to be very good, and four out of five starters are portal transfers. It is a long ways until December, and once the football season begins...

Thank you David, as it is great to see what is being built in Portland to expand our alumni base!

Gotta push this!

She is so sweet....but I am Hopelessly Devoted to....Ducks Two of my favorites below in Olivia with ELO, in 1980!

It took ALL my forbearance to leave the press release "as-is" and not put in "Beavis" at every mention of Oregon State...
