Oregon lands several stars on USA TODAY's top 100 players rankingsIt's almost time for football in Eugene. The Oregon Ducks are wrapping up fall camp this week before preparing for the season opener against Boise State at Autzen Stadium on Sept. 5. The expectations are high with one of the most talented rosters in the country. That sentiment was supported by USA TODAY's ranking of the top 100 college football players heading into the 2026 season. Nine Ducks landed in the rankings, the most of any program. Led by a Heisman-caliber quarterback and armed with plenty of experience in big games, Oregon is one of the frontrunners to win it all this season, but talent can only take a team so far. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/08/25/oregon-football-usa-todays-top-100-rankings-dante-moore/91449480007/

Still, the Oregon Ducks made the trip out east to New York last year to pull in the state's top recruit: wide receiver Messiah Hampton.

A snappy route runner with great hands, enough speed to play inside or out, and a dynamic ability to play a variety of roles — that sounds like the perfect fit in Oregon's offense. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/football/2026/08/25/oregon-football-messiah-hampton-fall-camp-emerging/91450558007/
