De-commitments are as much a part of the recruiting process as anything else. The ebb and flow of the recruiting cycle features them on a near daily basis, as players have a change of heart (sometimes on multiple occasions), coaching staffs turnover, and unforeseen circumstances arise throughout the calendar year that impact a recruit’s final […]
There’s no two ways about it. Oregon’s 32-25 loss to Utah Saturday evening in Salt Lake City is going to be a game that sticks. Similar to road losses to Washington State and Arizona, the Ducks got off to a slow start which found them in a 13-0 hole early. However, Oregon hung around, cobbling […]
Linebacker has been a position of strength for the Ducks both on the field during the 2018 season and on the recruiting trail for the 2019 recruiting cycle, as Oregon entered the day with four verbal commitments from highly-touted prospects. On Thursday, the Ducks added a fifth member to that group in the form of […]
A week after a sloppy 58-24 win in their season opener versus Bowling Green, the Oregon Ducks put together a far cleaner overall performance – albeit against a far inferior opponent – in Saturday’s 62-14 victory over Portland State.

For Oregon, the 2016 […]
Fall camp is in its final stretch, meaning the agonizing offseason wait for football is in its final throes. Believe it or not, only nine days separate us from Oregon’s season opener vs. Bowling Green on September 1, and HOO BOY are we ready for kickoff. As we grit our teeth and power through these final days, […]
Following a 2017 season in which the Oregon defense underwent a remarkable, if not inconceivable, 12-month turnaround between end of Mark Helfrich’s tenure and the conclusion of Willie Taggart’s fleeting time in Eugene, expectations are at an all-time high for Oregon defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt’s group. In total, the Ducks return 11 players who started […]
The anticipation in the air can only mean one thing: The onset of fall camp is upon us! August 3 is the date circled on the calendars of Duck fans near and far, as that is the day fall camp officially opens at the University of Oregon. The month of practices that follow will not […]
