THIS Oregon Playmaker Will Be A PROBLEM For Rest Of College Football Kenyon Sadiq is Oregon’s secret weapon poised to make a major impact this season.

There's still months to go before the class of 2026 is officially able to sign National Letters of Intent and join the fold. So, looking at recruiting classes purely based on "who has the most points" often gives a staggering advantage to whoever has the most verbal commitments. A better way to evaluate a class months before Signing Day is to blend the traditional rankings and the "average rating per commit" - i.e. what is the average level of talent across each of a school's pledges? In the traditional numbers, USC has the No. 1 recruiting class so far this cycle, but the Trojans also boast 31 pledges - four more than No. 2 Georgia, and at least six more than every other program in the top 13. The Ducks sit at No. 9 in those rankings, but have just 14 commitments, fewer than half of USC's number. Which means that data doesn't tell the whole story.

Lott stands at 6-foot, 175 pounds, and is considered one of the top pass-catchers in the class, and has been among Oregon's top prospects this cycle. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/recruiting/2025/07/08/oregon-ducks-football-jalen-lott-commitment/84500803007/

Scouting Report: Koloi Keli Scott Reed, June 30, 2025 I think all will enjoy reading this scouting report from Scott Reed, now his new home at Ducks Sport Central. He writes in part: "Koloi Keli might not turn heads immediately with eye-popping measurables, but once the tape rolls, it’s clear he’s one of the most physically dominant linemen in his class. At around 6-2 and 290 pounds, Keli has a naturally compact build that lends itself well to interior line play. His combination of foot speed, heavy hands, and nastiness stands out, and he brings a relentless attitude to every snap." "Keli’s recruiting profile may not match the star-studded metrics fans often obsess over, but he’s a “stock-up” prospect with a high ceiling. His blend of quick feet, strong hands, lateral agility, and finishing mentality makes him a true enforcer in the trenches. With continued development and a move inside, he could become a long-term starter and culture-setter for Oregon’s offensive line." further reading in this scouting report he also talks about Keli’s Run Blocking, Pass Protection, Technique and Tools, Physicality and Mentality, Projection.

Meet Bryan Seeley, the man in charge of policing the new world of college sports The revenue share era of college sports has arrived. Paychecks from schools will start to land in players' bank accounts this week. The endorsement deals that the CSC will need to vet are already pouring in. As he attempts to run an organization responsible for bringing order to a chaotic industry, Seeley has a long to-do list: hire a staff, establish investigative processes, determine fair punishment standards and build relationships across hundreds of schools and dozens of sports. Seeley finished the previous week by returning his office equipment to Major League Baseball after a decade of rebuilding and overseeing their league investigations department, which handled high-profile issues such as gambling, sexual misconduct and sign-stealing scandals on his watch. At his new job he's back to square one, which means his top priority last Monday was scrolling through Wirecutter, a product recommendation website, for advice on buying a new laptop. "This is a startup," Seeley told ESPN during an interview at the end of his first day. "It's not like I'm walking into nothing, but in many ways this is a true start-up."
