Rivals Rankings Week: Breaking down the 2024 offensive linemen The national analyst team had a lot of back and forth on the top offensive line recruit conversation, with Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei's Brandon Bakerwinning out against stout competition (the other contenders were also ranked within the top 30 overall). Not only is Baker the only projected offensive tackle among the top three offensive line recruits in the updated Rivals250, he could be among the safest bets at any premium position in the class. More tape of him working against some of the best competition in the nation won't hurt, though the resume is already among the best at the position to date. It's part of the reason why Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, USC, Texas and others are clamoring for a potential commitment. Should this recruitment end sooner rather than later, look for the Ducks or Buckeyes to be in the best shape to land the new No. 1 player in the offensive trenches. Rivals Rankings Week: Breaking down the 2024 offensive linemen OREGON.RIVALS.COM Brandon Baker sits in the top spot among offensive linemen, but there is plenty of depth at the position.

In anticipation of the 2023 College Football season, independent sportswriter Phil Steele has made his predictions for All-Conference and All-America teams, both of which include several Oregon Ducks. First, Steele believes that Oregon QB Bo Nix and edge rusher Brandon Dorlus will be the two Ducks to have All-American seasons, both of whom will earn fourth-team recognitions. The fourth-team selection likely means Steele sees Bo Nix as the fourth-best QB in 2023. While I would rank him slightly higher, four is much higher than much of the media has ranked him, such as his exclusion from On3’s top Heisman candidates.

Wide Receiver Becoming a Numbers Game for Oregon The Oregon Ducks landed another big commitment on Monday, as 2024 Santa Ana (Calif.)

With Ressler in the fold, Junior Adams now has four wide receivers committed and space is limited at the position.

On Monday morning, Bruce Feldman and The Athletic put out an article in their series of recruiting breakdowns looking at some of the top teams in the nation over the past couple of decades and offering superlatives for some of the most notable recruits to come through the program. In the article (subscription required) they talked about Joey Harrington and De’Anthony Thomas as two of the most important recruits in program history, and identified Justin Herbert as the biggest developmental project, rising from an overlooked 3-star into the No. 6 overall pick in the NFL Draft. I’m not going to bite into Feldman’s writing; it’s very good and deserves your attention. However, it did get me thinking about some superlatives that could be handed out for a more current group of recruits. While Feldman looked as far back as 2000 to identify some top players, I wanted to dial in the microscope a little bit and come of with some superlatives of my own. For this exercise, I go back five years ago to the 2018 recruiting class, and started from there up to the last class that was signed in 2023. I also threw in a few “future superlatives” for good measure, highlighting a few of the recruits in 2023 and 2024 who I think will have major impacts down the road. Without further ado, here are my superlatives for the Oregon Ducks recruiting over the past five years: Oregon Recruiting: The Ducks best recruits over the last 5 years DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM Who is the most influential Oregon recruit in the last 5 years? What about the biggest recruit to get away? We give some Duck recruiting superlatives.

SoCal Native Ryner Swanson Could be an Oregon Duck Very Soon To go along with what you are saying, another recruit could be joining the 2024 class. This is one to keep an eye on.

Oregon closes in on a Southern California-based tight end TROJANSWIRE.USATODAY.COM This prospect won’t immediately play college football. We’ll explain why. Swanson commented on the Oregon program: “The vibe fit me more at Oregon,” he said. “They definitely included my family. It was more family-oriented at Oregon. I just loved the vibe, I love the coaches. I met some of the players and I’d say Oregon was a really good fit for me. Texas, I don’t know. But I think Oregon is in the lead.”

The Oregon Ducks have been dominating the recruiting cycle on the west coast over the past several months, jumping out to an early lead in the Pac-12 conference and competing with some of the best schools in the nation when it comes to landing elite talent.

Wilner: The Oregon vs. Washington football game is now the Pac-12's highest profile rivalry now that USC and UCLA have bolted to the Big Ten. Before we dive into the timing of the game, let’s take a broader view of that fabulous rivalry. In the post-USC edition of the Pac-12, the Oregon-Washington matchup will be the premier game on the schedule and should be treated that way. Under former commissioner Larry Scott, the conference placed far too much emphasis on treating every school equally. Oregon State and Arizona State, for example, seemed to carry as much weight at the executive level as Washington and USC. It was nonsense. The SEC doesn’t treat South Carolina and Mississippi State the same as Alabama and LSU. The Big Ten doesn’t treat Minnesota and Purdue the same as Ohio State and Michigan. In a prosperous and thriving conference, the big brands lead. They lead in the boardroom and on the field. And it’s the commissioner’s job to manage the stakeholders and ensure harmony even though everyone knows where the clout lies. Moving forward, the Pac-12 should lean into its strengths, and Oregon-Washington is the strength. From that standpoint, the logistics seem clear: Give the teams a bye the week before the game. The extra week would help with injuries — you want the teams at their best — and it would create two weeks of hype. The conference should take every opportunity to promote the coaches and players during the build-up. Schedule the rivalry for the final Saturday of October every year. https://tucson.com/sports/pac-12-hotline/pac-12-mailbag-the-importance-of-the-oregon-washington-game-colorado-smoke-and-more/article_cbe57f02-0758-11ee-9cf4-030499842075.html

A few teams in the Big Ten Conference will be racking up airline miles when the league expands in the 2024 season UCLA and USC will each travel more than 15,000 miles roundtrip in conference play during their inaugural Big Ten season. In 2024 alone, the Bruins will travel to Rutgers, which is more than 4,800 miles roundtrip, while USC travels to Maryland and Penn State, each of which are more than 4,400 miles roundtrip. The team who travels the most in Big Ten play behind the Southern California schools is Nebraska -- and USC and UCLA are traveling over 225% more than Nebraska's 7,022 mile roundtrip conference schedule. Purdue and Indiana travel the least in the conference next fall, and the new schools will travel 618% more miles than its conference foes. UCLA also has trips to Hawaii and LSU booked on the 2024 schedule. So, in total, the Bruins will travel over 25,000 miles roundtrip. UCLA's shortest conference road trip is to Iowa, which is 3,082 miles roundtrip. 1. USC Total miles traveled for Big Ten away games: 16,134 Notable games of distance: Maryland (4,596 miles roundtrip) , Penn State, Purdue What it means: USC has a brutal travel schedule, having to go visit the East Coast twice for matchups with Penn State and Maryland. The Trojans only have to travel 34 total miles down the road for the annual matchup with rival UCLA at the Rose Bowl, though. 2. UCLA Total miles traveled for Big Ten away games: 15,412 Longest trips: Rutgers (4,846), Michigan, Indiana If having to adjust to a cross-country schedule for conference play wasn't bad enough, UCLA also plays nonconference road games at Hawaii and LSU.

Ducks extend offer to 2025 QB after recent visit It appears that the Oregon Ducks, and offensive coordinator Will Stein in particular, like what they see from 2025 QB Jamar Malone. After the Ducks extended an offer to Malone a year ago, they re-offered him with Stein at the helm of the offense this past week following Malone’s visit to Eugene. Standing at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, the 2025 product has some great size to him, and has obviously caught the attention of the Ducks.
