    Oregon spring practice observations: Multiple deep throws, safety absent

     

    EUGENE — Dillon Gabriel and Luke Moga each connected on deep throws during Oregon’s seventh spring practice.

    Kyler Kasper and Evan Stewart were on the receiving end of their passes, respectively, each down the left sideline Thursday morning at the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex.

     

    Their receptions came during the second period “fastball starts” 11-on-11 drill, which was early in practice for the first time this spring and provided a glimpse of actual football. The personnel groupings were not remotely reflective of hierarchy on a depth chart though.

     

    Kasper’s catch was highly contested by Dontae Manning. Stewart pulled away in a foot face with walk-on Xavier Barksdale.

     

    Austin Novosad threw an interception that would have been a pick-six.

    Oregon football held its seventh spring practice on Thursday morning out on the HDC practice turfs. Here is what media saw during the 18 minutes of open practice.

     

    With the first spring scrimmage a few days away, the Ducks returned to shells on Thursday morning. 

     

    Even though it was not full-contact practice, competition was not shied away from, and the media contingent was treated to its first "fastball" period (11-on-11) of spring to close their 18 minutes on the turfs

    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.
