Oregon Ducks Practice Reports Updates, Etc. “2025” (5)
Four "What If's" for Oregon's 2025 Football Season When you lose a Heisman finalist at quarterback, three of your top four receivers, a 1,000-yard rusher, a first-round NFL Draft pick at offensive tackle, and three defensive players selected within the first 90 picks, it’s only natural for questions to arise in Eugene. The result? Plenty of uncertainty—and just as many hypotheticals—about what the 2025 Oregon Ducks football season might look like. With spring practice now over a month in the rearview mirror and more than two months remaining until Montana State rolls into Autzen Stadium for the season opener, it’s the perfect time to start asking: What if? Four "What If's" for Oregon's 2025 Football Season - On3 WWW.ON3.COM There are a number of 'what ifs' for this Oregon roster this season that will heavily impact predictions.

2026 Recruitment, Announcements, Interviews, Etc. (6)
Alabama Crimson Tide recruiting news bodes well for Oregon Football More news emerged on Tuesday morning, likely giving Oregon a sense of confidence about its standing with the No. 19 quarterback in the 2026 class, according to On3. That news pertains to Alabama and their quarterback recruiting. According to Hayes Fawcett, the Crimson Tide flipped Iowa State 4-star QB Jett Thomalla, adding him to the Crimson Tide's 2026 class. While it's not definite, this seems like an indication that Alabama is no longer looking to bring in Beaver as well, despite having him on campus this past weekend for a visit. The tea leaves suggest that Kalen DeBoer and his staff might have seen that they were unlikely to land Beaver, so they picked up another QB and added him to the class. Alabama Crimson Tide recruiting news bodes well for Oregon Football DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Oregon Ducks likely feel good about where they are with 4-star QB Bryson Beaver after the recent news coming from the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Wondering What our Pro Ducks are Doing? (2)
Where Oregon football ranks among most well-represented colleges in NFL There are well over 1,000 players on NFL active rosters, and when one looks at just one of the 32 rosters, the odds are they'll see an Oregon Duck or two. The Ducks are among the active leaders of college programs in having former players on an active NFL roster. There are 47 former Oregon players in the NFL in 2025. That number ranks ninth in all of college football. The Ducks just increased the previous number by nearly 33 percent, with 10 players drafted in the most recent NFL selection process. To no one's surprise, the Alabama Crimson Tide (72) and Georgia Bulldogs (70) lead the country. What is interesting to see, however, is that the USC Trojans (42) and Washington Huskies (41) are behind the Ducks on the list.

4-star QB Bryson Beaver to take official visit to Oregon Ducks this weekend Few recruits in the 2026 class have had as big of a whirlwind of a week as 4-star quarterback Bryson Beaver.

How to Fix the College Football Playoff: Format, Schedule Changes Necessary with Expansion on the Horizon
🤔 Tom Fornelli's complete guide to ensuring the best college football product as changes loom ahead of the 2026 season Change is coming to the College Football Playoff. We don't know what the format will look like in 2026 after the Big Ten and SEC gain control over it, but we know it won't look like the version we saw in 2024. That format didn't even last a year, as the powers that be saw the flaws in it and -- rightfully -- made the correct change in going to straight seeds. It was a refreshing breath of fresh air to see swift and productive change. It's also not something I'm counting on becoming the norm. So while The Powers That Be continue to meet over steak dinners in the coming months to hammer out a format, I've decided to gently nudge them in the direction they need to go.

Oregon Lands Commitment From 4-Star WR Messiah Hampton Oregon’s recruiting dry spell ended in a big way on Friday, as the Ducks picked up a commitment from 2026 4-Star Rochester (NY) James Monroe wide receiver Messiah Hampton. Hampton chose the Ducks from a top group that also included Miami, Syracuse, Penn State, Georgia, Ohio State and Michigan. Hampton is the No. 48 player in the On300 rankings, the No. 7 wide receiver and the No. 1 prospect in New York. New wide receivers coach Ross Douglas leaned on his prior relationship with Hampton to land his first commitment since joining Lanning’s staff and the first wide receiver in Oregon’s 2026 recruiting class. With Hampton now in the fold, Oregon’s 2026 recruiting class has climbed back into the top-10 classes nationally, coming in at No. 8 according to On3. The Ducks have eight verbal commitments, headlined by 5-star Reidsville (NC) tight end Kendre Harrison, who has shut down his recruitment and is all-in on the Ducks. On the latest episode of the Ducks Dish Podcast, ScoopDuckOn3’s Max Torres and Justin Hopkins break down Hampton’s commitment and what it means for Oregon Football. They also take a look at what’s next for Douglas at wide receiver in the 2026 class, with more of Oregon’s top targets scheduled to take their official visit with the Ducks before making a summer commitment. 2026 4-star Opa Loka (Fla.) wide receiver Calvin Russell has Oregon in his top group heading into his college commitment date of July 5. 2026 4-Star Lucas (Tex.)

Oregon football extends new offer to 2026 Boise State QB commit The Oregon Ducks extended an intriguing scholarship offer on Wednesday, reaching out to 3-star quarterback Bryson Beaver, from Murrieta, California. He stands at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds. This offer is worth noting because of where the Ducks currently stand in the quarterback recruiting landscape. Earlier this spring, they lost the Jared Curtis sweepstakes, with the 5-star passer committing to the Georgia Bulldogs. They are currently projected to land 5-star QB Ryder Lyons, but there has been some buzz recently that the BYU Cougars are willing to pay him inordinate sums of money to get him to commit. If that is the case, then the Ducks' offering another QB in the class makes a bit of sense. Regardless, they still could feel good about where they stand with Lyons but are just covering their bases with another talented and rising QB prospect.
