Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq declares for 2026 NFL draft

Sadiq’s time at Oregon has come to an end.

I don’t blame him at all, as he is truly ready built for the next level. He also set a standard for future tight ends to aspire to…

It was a long shot that he stayed for another season.

Johnson has really come along this season. Olesh and Harrison (the due is six foot seven!) I think we will have plenty of weapons at tight end.

Though we lost two tight ends so that is less great for the depth. Wouldn't be surprised if we go after another tight end in the portal at this point.

He is definitely built for the NFL. I wish he still had 2 more years --Best of Luck in the future.

Not surprised at all. Jamari Johnson has shown he's got what it takes to be TE1. Depth behind him is a concern, Andrew Olesh will need to show that he developed well over his redshirt year.

My understanding is today is the last day to declare for the draft.

Let's see what the rest of the day brings.

I'll always feel like Kenyon was a generational talent that we underutilized. When I think of some of the great college tight ends (Bowers from Georgia or Kincaid at Utah), you always knew they were going to have a major impact on the game in one way or another. The way WS used Kenyon, he was like Houdini, as in, "I come and I go." You never knew when he was going to show up, or disappear for multiple games.

Here's to hoping OBD find ways to maximize more of our current and future mega stars like Dakorian Moore & incoming uber athlete Kendre Harrison.

Go Ducks!

“ Underutilized” for sure!

Maybe even wasted.

In the same way that Mario wasted Justin Herbert.

Wish him success in the league. Maybe he can go play with Herbert.
