Oregon Ducks Rising Early for Speedy Receiver RecruitThe Oregon Ducks don't ignore landing speed on the recruiting trail, and now are trending up for this fast-rising wide receiver recruit. Oregon is aiming to reel in one more speedster from the state of Texas: four-star wideout and return ace Dillon Mitchell out of C.E. King High School in Houston. Mitchell is turning heads already with his uncanny track and field speed at a young age. He's reportedly ran a sub 10-second 100-meter dash and blazed the 200 in 20.22 seconds during the spring, according to Rivals recruiting insider Sam Spiegelman. That track speed translates with ease onto the football field. Mitchell compiled 1,779 total yards of offense and scored 14 times for a Panthers team that played for a Texas state football championship this past season. Oregon entered his picture by offering Mitchell back on Jan. 28.

The TRUTH About Oregon Football in 2026

Oregon Football Fall Camp Preview...A HUGE Storyline To Watch?Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks Football Program are getting geared up to kickoff fall camp. Taking a look at some of the biggest storylines heading into the fall and the 2026 college football season.

Dylan Raiola's Five-Star Ranking Questioned Before Oregon CareerThe Oregon Ducks boast several five-stars from the high school recruit class of 2024, with a new breakdown claiming all three have yet to live up to their college career expectations. In a recent article from CBS Sports' Cooper Petagna, he posits that Raiola's five-star rating from 2024 may be in question with Raiola's move to the Ducks to become a mentee under starter Dante Moore may be his route to success (with the emphasis that it's the same avenue Moore took with now Cleveland Brown Dillon Gabriel). "A route less traveled, but one exemplified by Moore himself, Raiola will look to capitalize on a year to learn a new scheme while surrounding himself with a quarterback-friendly roster in what is presumed to be his offense in 2027," Petagna wrote.

Oregon Ducks QB preview: Dante Moore’s time to shineWhat to expect from Dante Moore in 2026 Now, with a coaching staff that has been able to learn and grow, a veteran core returning, and one of the most talented rosters in the country, the Ducks enter 2026 with a legitimate opportunity to deliver the championship season their fans have been waiting for. For that opportunity to become a reality, Oregon will need elite play from the quarterback position. There is no competition to determine who will lead the offense this fall; the job belongs to Dante Moore. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/07/17/oregon-football-quarterback-depth-chart-preview-2026/90947599007/

Dan Lanning surging for 4-star QB whose Oregon 'dream school' admission is tellingOftentimes, the first domino to fall in any recruiting cycle starts with the quarterbacks as they typically arrive at a decision before anyone else. Schools and coaches build their recruiting classes, around the star quarterback as they most often commit heading into their Junior season or after the year. The Oregon Ducks have built a nice pipeline at quarterback with Will Mencl committed in this cycle, Dylan Raiola waiting behind Dante Moore along with Brock Thomas and Akili Smith Jr waiting in the wings. It appears that the Ducks next addition to a bright future at the quarterback position could be on the horizon. Oregon lands prediction for elite quarterback recruit Josiah BoydEarlier this Summer, the Oregon coaching staff offered elite 2028 quarterback recruit Josiah Boyd a scholarship while he was on campus. After Josiah Boyd was offered by the coaching staff, he spoke to Rivals' Greg Biggins declaring that Oregon has always been his dream school. It looks as if Josiah Boyd is becoming a top target for the Ducks, and that there's mutual interest on both sides. On Thursday Night, Rivals' Brandon Huffman and Greg Biggins each logged a prediction for the Oregon Ducks to land Josiah Boyd.

2026 college football Top 25: Lingering questions for each teamIt won't be long before college football teams hit the field in earnest as training camps begin in just a few weeks. Rosters are pretty much set, but even the best teams still have areas of uncertainty, from transitions to new coaches and coordinators to unproven players and thin position groups. With the first set of games six weeks away, we look at a lingering question for each team in our preseason Top 25 that will have to be addressed before the season or could help determine the course of the 2026 campaign. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/49317249/2026-college-football-top-25-lingering-questions-team

How Oregon football's average age in 2026 sets program up for successFor the first time since Marcus Mariota's last season as quarterback, the Oregon Ducks football team has a realistic chance of winning their first national championship in the program's history. Mariota won the Heisman Trophy that season and it wouldn't be to anyone's shock if current quarterback Dante Moore won the 2026 Heisman as well. But unlike Mariota, Moore is surrounded by some of the best talent around at nearly every spot on the field. Mariota's teammates were very good as well, but not like this. Another factor in the Ducks' favor for this upcoming season is the players' actual age. According to Rotowire.com, Oregon's roster has an average age of 20.18 years old. That would be about a junior, someone with plenty of experience on their side, but still has a lot to learn going forward. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/07/17/oregon-football-average-team-age-2026/90948881007/

Ducks come in 12th in Jon Rothstein's Big Ten Preseason Power Rankings All signs point towards a bounce back season for the Oregon Ducks men's basketball program in 2026-27, as a revamped roster built through the transfer portal will look to stay above water in the Big Ten and compete for a spot in the NCAA Tournament. Earlier this week, CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein tabbed the Ducks as his sleeper candidate in the Big Ten. Now, he's released his full power rankings entering the 2026-27 season, with Oregon slotting in at No. 12. They come in just behind the Iowa Hawkeyes and ahead of the Maryland Terrapins. Last season, eight teams in the conference made the 2026 NCAA Tournament. But with the expanded 76-team field that is expected to favor power conference teams, the Ducks very well could be on the fringe of making the tournament. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/mens-basketball/2026/07/16/oregon-mens-basketball-jon-rothstein-12th-preseason-big-ten-power-rankings/90936537007/

Oregon baseball makes critical hire to coaching staffThe Oregon Ducks baseball program has been on the rise since Mark Wasikowski took over in 2020. However, Oregon's recruiting success has finally reached a turning point, as programs with greater NIL resources have poached the Ducks' top talents this offseason, and a program-record seven Ducks have been selected in the 2026 MLB Draft. Oregon has always built its team around recruiting. While that style may change for the 2027 season, leaning more on transfers, the Ducks have made a hire to hopefully swing momentum on the recruiting trail back in their favor. On Thursday, the Ducks announced the hire of Ryan Fineman as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the baseball program. Fineman has spent the past two seasons with Troy, helping to build and guide the Trojans to the College World Series this past season. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/baseball/2026/07/16/oregon-baseball-ryan-fineman-recruiting-coordinator-hire/90949582007/

Football: Inside Linebacker ReviewThere’s definitely not a lot of experience behind Oregon’s two trusty Seniors It’s no secret that Oregon’s defensive line is expected to be one of the more elite across the nation, but what about the second line of defense? Though there appears to be a high ceiling for the young group, who do we know beyond Jerry Mixon and Devon Jackson that is a proven commodity in Division 1 action? Though Oregon has done a good job of plug-and-play at various positions, the inside linebacking corps is not one of them, and inexperience seems to reign beyond the two veteran Seniors. That being the case, the coaching staff appears to be all-in on the talent they’ve acquired through recruiting and trusting in their development, and it’s not like there haven’t been some notable success stories recently.

Last week, Yahoo! Sports announced that fantasy football, one of the most popular ways for fans to engage with the NFL, is coming to the college game in 2026. Oregon fans can now draft their favorite Ducks — and use them as inspiration for the most important part of fantasy football: choosing the perfect team name. NFL fantasy football has produced a long list of iconic team names over the years, from “Turn Down for Watt” and “Run CMC” to “Mahomes Alone.” With fantasy now expanding into the college game, Oregon fans finally have a new roster of player names to work with. Fortunately, the 2026 Ducks' roster is loaded with possibilities. With names like Dante and Dakorien Moore, Gatlin Bair, Koi Perich, and Trey McNutt, there's a lot to work with. I sat down with a pad and paper and started letting the ideas flow. The result is a collection of the best Oregon Ducks-themed fantasy football names for 2026: I came up with 60 fantasy football team names for Oregon Duck fans.

Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning and his coaching staff are bringing in another star-studded recruiting class that is ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten and inside the top five nationally by both On3 and 247Sports. With 24 commitments with only a few remaining targets left on the board, what are some of the most intriguing numbers when breaking down Oregon's recruiting class of 2027? 16 Blue Chip Prospects8 Top 100 Recruits17 States Represented4 In-State Prospects5 Defensive Linemen, 5 Defensive BacksAdditionally, Oregon has a deep defensive line recruiting class, and it makes sense when looking at the Ducks' current roster. With the starting defensive line of Matayo Uiagalelei, A'Mauri Washington, Bear Alexander, and Teitum Tuioti all forgoing the NFL Draft and returning to Oregon, the Ducks will have a lot of production and experience to replace following the 2026 season. As a result, Lanning and company have been aggressive in pursuing young defensive linemen to join the program. - Five-star Rashad Streets - Four-star Zane Rowe - Four-star Cam Pritchett - Three-star Achilles Reyna - Three-star Josh Christensen Oregon Ducks On SIFive Intriguing Numbers Behind Oregon Ducks Recruiting ClassOregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning and his coaching staff are bringing in another star-studded recruiting class that is ranked No. 1 in the Big Ten and inside the t

Top dogs in the Big Ten? Choke artists? The labels don't matter a damn bit"Can Oregon handle being the best team in the Big Ten?" Former "Unnecessary Roughness" podcast host Brandon Walker posed that question yesterday, a week ahead of Big Ten Media Days. "Can they handle going wire-to-wire as the unquestioned top dog in the Big Ten?" he went on to ask, recalling their losses in the playoffs over the last two seasons. A long-time host for Barstool Sports, Walker is heading a solo show now and trying to launch it with a big splash. He's built a following by being outspoken, but this rant doesn't quite land. There's no more and no less pressure on Oregon than there is on Indiana, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Georgia and Texas. And pressure is what athletes strive to have. It means they're playing for something, reaching for big goals. Oregon's been a top dog ever since joining the Big Ten, and it's a big part of why Dante Moore, Jordon Davison and A'Mauri Washington came there, to play in meaningful games and compete for championships.
