Football: 2025 Developmental Player Film Review

Breaking down the film during non-representative play of Oregon’s depth that may play a role in future seasons.

The best athletic programs, in any sport, don’t manage their rosters one year at a time. While the transfer portal is an important tool in roster management in modern college football, many contributing starters spend time on the team developing as young players.

In this article, I present my findings from reviewing the garbage time footage of Oregon’s offense this season that features developmental players. These players are usually in their first two years in the program and did not see regular playing time until the outcome of the game has already been decided.

Readers should note that the sample of plays for each of these players is relatively small. Further, playcalling by both teams tends to be different to reflect the game effectively being over when these players are on the field.

Dan Lanning Sees Tez Johnson Traits in Oregon Transfer Receiver

Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning opened up on transfer wide receiver Iverson Hooks, saying he shows some of the same traits Oregon loved in former Ducks star Tez Johnson, pointing specifically to his speed, twitch, ability to get in and out of breaks and success on option routes from the slot.

The comparison hits hard for Oregon fans, as Johnson was a beloved fan-favorite in Eugene before taking his talents to the NFL, where he currently plays for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
