    Elijah Rushing named freshman to watch in college football spring season

     

    One of the many new players on this roster who has drawn a lot of attention early on, both through his recruitment and early in spring practices, is true freshman edge rusher Elijah Rushing. As a former 5-star recruit who was rated as the No. 26 player in the 2024 class, there are some eyes on Rushing nationally. This past week, CBS Sports named Rushing as one of several freshmen to watch during spring games this month.

    So how long will it be until the Ducks' defense is considered one of the best in the nation?  That's a question that we can try to answer using ESPN’s updated future defensive power rankings.  Looking at returning production, coaching continuity, recruiting, and defensive transfers, here's where ESPN sees the Ducks going forward:

    But Lake Oswego's Ansu Sanoe off to UW? Say it ain't so!

     

    From what I've listen and read, "Oregon's 2025 recruiting efforts are about to heat up the next couple of months.  They're expected to land 4-star WR Cooper Perry from Scottsdale, Arizona. The momentum should continue from there."  Especially after obtaining Coach Ra'Shaad Samples who is a strong recruiter, especially in Texas.

    Oregon Football's 2025 Recruiting Efforts are about to Heat Up

     

    The last tangible news Oregon has had on the recruiting front for 2025 was a decommitment at wide receiver. They're expected to land 4-star WR Cooper Perry from Scottsdale, Arizona. The momentum should continue from there.

    5-star safety Trey McNutt names Oregon as a top school

     

    With recruiting season starting to pick up, Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks are making some big swings. On Monday, Hayes Fawcett of On3 Sports announced that the best safety in the class of 2025, Trey McNutt, is down to eight schools, one of which is Oregon.

     

    On3 Sports ranks McNutt as a 5-star recruit and 247 Sports rates him as a 4-star, but both agree that he is the top safety recruit in his class. At 6’0″ and 180 lbs., McNutt has a mix of strength and explosive speed that could make him a great free-roaming safety wherever he ends up

    The Ducks are in a good spot when it comes to the recruitment of 5-star S Trey McNutt.

    4-star WR Cooper Perry to announce commitment this week; Ducks heavy favorite

     

    There seems to be a really good chance that the Oregon Ducks pick up a notable commitment this week in the class of 2025.

     

    On Monday, 4-star wide receiver Cooper Perry announced on social media that he will officially make his commitment later this week on Wednesday afternoon. The announcement will take place at 2 p.m. PT on Wednesday afternoon.

     

    Perry is rated by 247Sports as the No. 1 player from the state of Arizona, and the No. 27 WR in the 2025 class.  The 247Sports Composite has him ranked as the No. 251 overall player in the nation as well.

     

    Currently, there are four predictions in the 247Sports Crystal Ball for Perry to choose the Ducks, and Oregon is the heavy favorite in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine, as well, with a 95.1% chance to land him.

     

    The Ducks currently have a commitment from 5-star WR Dallas Wilson in the class of 2025 as well.
