Oregon TE Terrance Ferguson to return to Eugene for 2024 season The Oregon Ducks got some welcomed news on Saturday, with tight end Terrance Ferguson announcing that he will return to Eugene for one final season in 2024. Ferguson is among the best tight ends to play for the Ducks in recent memory, hauling in 89 passes for 928 yards and 12 touchdowns in his three-year career. Ferguson is just three touchdowns away from tying the Oregon Ducks school record for most by a TE in a career. There was some speculation about whether or not Ferguson would choose to enter the 2024 NFL Draft rather than utilize his final year of eligibility in Eugene. Had Ferguson tested the draft waters, he likely would have been a mid-to-late-round draft pick. With another solid year in Eugene, there’s a good chance that he can establish himself as a Day 2 pick, bringing a high upside and great size — 6-foot-6, 230 pounds — to the table...

Where Oregon Ducks rank in final ESPN FPI of 2023 season The Oregon Ducks had a successful 2023 college football season, and while it stopped short of the ultimate goal of making the College Football Championship, a 12-win season with a victory in the Fiesta Bowl is never something that a fan base should turn down. Throughout the year, we’ve kept track of the Ducks’ place in the ESPN Football Power Index, which is a ranking that measures a team’s success based on expected point margins vs. average opponents on a neutral field. It is a ranking that offers a different look at the power balance in the nation, contrary to the College Football Playoff rankings, the Associated Press Poll, or the Coaches Poll. The Ducks have fared well in the ESPN FPI, routinely ranking near the top of the list. So how do they fare with all but one game left to play? Here’s a look...

Updated transfer portal needs for Oregon as Ducks continue to build out 2024 roster The transfer portal has been bountiful for the Oregon Ducks in 2024 so far, with Dan Lanning and his team adding some elite playmakers at key positions across the roster over the last few weeks since the portal opened in early December. From Dillon Gabriel and Dante Moore, to Kobe Savage and Jay Harris, the Ducks have added some potential massive difference-makers to the roster, but they will continue to look to improve their personnel over the next couple of weeks and months, with more players entering the portal every day. There have also been a few people who have left Eugene via the portal, such as S Cole Martin, RB Dante Dowdell, and QB Ty Thompson, which have led to potential positions of need that will be addressed. Now that we’ve gotten a moment to breath after the bowl game, it felt like a good time to update the areas on the roster where the Ducks may continue to add players this offseason...

Oregon has had some fantastic running backs in its school history. For years, the Ducks have had at least one 1,000 yard runner each season. Who is the best of all? Well, it's hard not to select the school's lone Doak Walker winner (LaMichael James), but because James only played three seasons, the school's all-time career leaderboard doesn't completely favor him. Royce Freeman surpassed several of James records, and former teammate Kenjon Barner is near him on other lists. Bucky Irving and his highlight-tape running make him one of the best running backs to come through Eugene. However, he failed to receive the necessary volume to statistically come close to players like James, Freeman or Barnes. Today, I've pulled out the Oregon official record book to run through the school's all-time rushing stats, compiling the 10 best in a variety of categories. This story will list the top individual games, seasons and careers of Ducks using a variety of statistical categories from completions to yards to touchdown to wins.
