    Ducks pick up prediction to land No. 4 TE in 2025 class

     

    The Oregon Ducks coaching staff has been out on the recruiting trail over the past couple of weeks making stops to see highly-rated prospects across the country. While that was happening, though, they got a prediction to land one of the top players at his position in the 2025 class.

     

    On Wednesday, On3’s Chad Simmons logged a projection for 4-star tight end DaSaahn Brame to end up with the Ducks. Brame is rated by 247Sports as the No. 95 player in the 2025 class, and the No. 4 tight end available.

     

    Standing at 6-foot-6, 235 pounds, Brame is a massive body at the TE position, and he would offer elite upside as a pass-catcher.

    Way-too-early record predictions for every Big Ten team in 2024

     

    Based on the continued fluidity of rosters in the world of college football thanks to the churn of the transfer portal and the coaching carousel, it is still far too early to get a perfect read on who will be contending for a national championship at the end of the first inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff in 2024. It’s not too early to speculate, though.

     

    Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve offered our top-25 rankings predictions for 2024, as well as forecasting which 12 teams will make it into the CFP, and what the first expanded rankings of the Big Ten will look like for the Oregon Ducks.

     

    We wanted to take a second to expand a little bit on that last one.

    In 2024, the Big Ten is expected to be a premier conference, with several national title contenders at the top like Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, and Penn State. While we’ve predicted what the power rankings should look like in the conference going into the season, we wanted to now take it a step further and flesh out the final records for each and every team.

     

    What are the toughest games, and which ones should be the easiest wins? Who will ultimately be bowl-eligible when all is said and done?

     

    Those are questions that we want to answer. Here is our record prediction for every team in the conference for the 2024 season, ordered by our preseason power rankings:

    Jim Harbaugh's departure to the NFL is a win for Oregon in more ways than one

     

    This move from Harbaugh also has a big impact on the Oregon Ducks, believe it or not, for more reason that one. Whether it’s the future in the Big Ten, an upcoming high-profile recruitment, or some stability for an Oregon legend at long last, Duck fans should be happy to hear about the move, no matter their opinions on Harbaugh himself.

     

    Here’s why:

    A look at all of the 5-star recruits who the Oregon Ducks have extended an offer to in the 2025 recruiting class.

     

     

    When Washington hired Jedd Fisch away from Arizona, some asked if this was the tippy top for the new Huskies leader.

    With Washington’s move to the Big Ten, there isn’t much more room to go up. That’s how Fisch put it at least. Conference realignment essentially changed the definition of what’s a destination job.

     

    So with that in mind, Fisch gave an interesting answer.

     

    “Well, I think that’s always a problem right? You can’t be right, you can’t be wrong, whatever you say. I know that comment is always gonna be made. Is it a destination job,” Fisch said. “I would answer it this way. The Big Ten, the SEC, right now is who’s leading the football pathways. The college football landscape is about getting to the CFP. There’s 12 teams that are going to compete every year starting next year in the college football playoffs.” 

     

    Fisch looked at recent history and how it projects at a place like Washington.

     

    “If you look at what teams traditionally compete, it’s about the same 12 or 14 teams,” Fisch said. “The University of Washington is one of those 12 or 14 teams. That’s why we coach, we coach to be able to take a seat at that table and to be able to give yourself a chance every single year with resources beyond belief.”
