This one feels good. Was hoping Lanning would eventually land some big DTs during his tenure.

Keep On Keepin' On Danno!

 

HUZZAH! And a B1G QUACK!

In two classes, this is pretty crazy:

 

DT:

 

Ayden Breland (#16) *****

Jericho Johnson (#108) ****

A'Mauri Washington (#246) ****

Tionne Grey (#394) ***

My'Keil Gardner (#494) ***

Tevita Pome'e (#717) ***

 

DE

 

Elijah Rushing (#17) ****

Blake Purchase (#129) ****

Johnny Bowens III (#186) ****

Terrence Green (#211) ****

Xadavien Sims (#211) ****

Aston Porter (#240) ****

 

EDGE

 

Matayo Uiagalelei (#47) ****

Teitum Tuioti (#213) ****

Jaxson Jones (#365) ***

Jaeden Moore (#724) ***

 

I can't really recall any season in the recruiting rankings era where Oregon ever had more than about 5 top 250 recruits in their whole DT/DE/EDGE group of players.

 

DL has brought in 11 in just two classes. I've read some posts expressing a lack of enthusiasm for "recruiting rankings" (and I get what they are expressing); but, the way I look at this is there is almost no chance about 6 really, really good players don't emerge from this group (whichever combination of players it ends up being). I think 2024 is still a lot of these guys still end up mostly getting their feet wet (no Duck pun intended); but, 2025-2028 is something to be a bit excited about IMO.

Wow! 

"Oregon landed a commitment from Northern California's No. 1 prospect in the 2024 class, doing so on Thursday evening in an announcement at his church.

 

And it moves the Ducks to the No. 3 class overall and the No. 1 class in the Big Ten, shooting them past Ohio State.

 

Johnson said that Oregon provided everything he was looking for."

For anyone who knows, what is the difference between DE and EDGE?

Edited by OregonDucks

I couldn't find any good highlight videos of Jericho Johnson but love his size (6’4” 300 lbs.). Ayden Breland is ~290 lbs and very athletic for his size. 
 

Our coaches are absolutely killing it on the defensive line. It’s going to be fun to watch Oregon’s defense wreck havoc for years to come!


Go Ducks!

Same for me, OD.  I'd love to hear the difference explained by someone in the know.

Junior season highlights below. Makes you feel sorry for the 5'11" 190lb HS linemen he's throwing around.

defenders who rarely drop into coverage are generally called defensive ends even if they are light like OLBs. Enter the term, “edge defender”. This term was created to denote guys who are the best on the team at rushing the passer - from the edge of the OL.

Recruiting Impact
 

This is a big commitment for a number of reasons. 

 

Not only did Oregon beat conference rivals Washington and USC for a elite recruit, but they continued adding to the best defensive line haul in the country...
