Fall Camp: Day 7 Practice

Recommended Posts

 

Oregon's seventh practice of the spring took place on Wednesday, here are updates from the day

EUGENE, Ore. — The afternoon heat brought another spirited practice to the Hatfield Dowlin Complex practice turfs. The Ducks were out of full pads and in shells for Wednesday's seventh session of fall camp. 

 

Redshirt freshman wide receiver Justius Lowe joined junior wideout Josh Delgado as the lone scholarship absences media noticed. Lowe was at Tuesday's practice — the only practice previously open to media.

 

Defensive lineman Popo Aumavae and linebackers Jaeden Moore and Jestin Jacobs warmed up on the sideline during stretch, typically a sign of working back from injury. Tight end Terrance Ferguson handled special teams work just fine but did not appear to take part in every other drills.

Sheldon grad Teitum Tuioti turning heads as practices heat up for Oregon football

 

Perhaps it wasn’t a surprise that Teitum Tuioti, a Sheldon standout and the son of second-year Oregon defensive line coach Tony Tuioti, committed to play for the Ducks after moving with his dad across the country from Nebraska last fall.

 

A year later, he is already turning heads as a true freshman.

After significant weight gain, Devon Jackson is ready for breakout season with Ducks

 

A year ago, Devon Jackson came to Eugene as a slender linebacker who was known for his speed. He had been recruited by a coaching staff that was no longer with the team but stayed committed to the Oregon Ducks despite the overhaul in leadership.

 

Throughout his first season, Jackson played in just five games, tallying one tackle on the year. Now, going into his sophomore year, the Omaha native is primed for a massive breakout, and he’s been the talk of the team going through fall camp thus far.

STC Joe Lorig on punting competition: 'It'll be ongoing'

 

Oregon special teams coordinator Joe Lorig updated the punting competition before the 2023 season.

 

Oregon's special teams will continue to be a topic of discussion after a below-average performance last season. The Ducks rotated multiple punters the previous season and never found the right man for the job.

 

Heading into the 2023 season, Oregon and special teams coordinator Joe Lorig went out and recruited two punters in Australian native Luke Dunne and Austin Peay transfer Matthew Rigney. Oregon also retained Ross James.

 

Now, all three players are competing for a starting spot.

 

Rigney joined the program this summer in time for fall camp, while Dunne and James competed during spring camp. Lorig notes the competition is ongoing, with multiple weeks left until the season starts.

Ben Roberts turning heads at DT in second year with the Ducks

 

Oregon has a loaded defensive line heading into the 2023 football season, which has led to a hot and contested fall camp as players push for playing time and a slot into the rotation.

 

The depth and talent on Oregon's roster will make it harder for some younger players to see the field, but there are names starting to emerge from the unit that could help Oregon in 2023. One of those underclassmen recently got a shoutout from his position coach.

 

"Ben Roberts is one that definitely taken a big step from coming in as a young guy," said Oregon defensive line coach Tony Tuioti. "He's taking some, some really good reps even against the ones and he's showing up. So he's a lot more stout in the run game and he's been able to push and collapse the pocket in the pass game."

Ajani Cornelius improving his craft by facing better competition in practice

 

Ajani Cornelius chose to leave Rhode Island in part to improve the caliber of competition he played against. After playing three years of FCS football, Cornelius says he's improved this offseason just by facing Oregon defenders in practice.

 

"This is exactly the reason I made the move," Cornelius said after Wednesday's practice. "Obviously, it's adaptation just like it was in spring and just keep on going and competing with these guys. It's making me better and I love it."

 

Battles with Jordan Burch, Brandon Dorlus and Mase Funa have stood out to the 6-foot-5 offensive tackle, who is slated to start at right tackle this fall.

Second-year Ducks who have biggest chance to break out in 2023 for Oregon

 

 

With over a week of fall camp behind us now for the Oregon Ducks, we’ve seen enough football and talked to enough coaches and players to start to get a sense of what is to be expected in the coming season.

 

One of the things that is always fun to try and identify during fall camp is a list of players who could be primed for a breakout. Whether that is experienced players who haven’t gotten an opportunity to prove their worth just yet, or young players who could be stepping into a vital role with a year of experience under their belts, there are always a handful of guys going into each season that look bigger, better, and ready to contribute.

Fall camp is the best time to identify potential breakout players. In Eugene, these second-year guys have caught our eye so far.

Lanning, Lorig believe consistency will determine special teams roles

 

The 2023 season is fast approaching. Only a handful of weeks separate Oregon and its first game against Portland State. However, Oregon head coach Dan Lanning and special teams coordinator Joe Lorig are in no rush. And when it comes to special teams performances, they know every rep they can get will help them determine who will start against Portland State.

 

A key phrase Lorig has thrown out this year, Lanning last year, is "consistency." Consistency from their punters, long snappers, returners, and everyone involved with that side of the ball.

 

Consistency was lacking last year. Thus, four different punters were used over the season by the Ducks. Initially, the player expected to be a kickoff specialist, Alex Bales, was the punter in Oregon's dreadful collapse and loss to Oregon State.

 

Now, in Fall camp, Oregon has another three-man punting battle with Luke Dunne, Ross James, and Matthew Rigney.

 

"We chart it every day. I don't think there's a clear leader so far," said Lanning after practice on Tuesday. "And then again, you have to get more punts with pressure too. Once we have that happen I think we'll have a more clear picture of what's going to happen."
