As fall camp fast approaches, WFOD will be rolling out an in-depth series of position-by-position previews to help you fully […]
Just like it was last year, it could be yet another busy June for Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal and the Ducks on the recruiting trail. Last year during the month of June, the Ducks picked up six verbal commitments from members of their 2019 recruiting class. This year, they’ve already landed two: the first […]
Defensive back has been a major need for the Ducks during the 2019 recruiting cycle, particularly in the aftermath of last minute decommitments from Jeremiah Criddell and Elijah Blades prior to the early signing period in December. On Monday, however, the Ducks received some news they had been hoping for, as Morrow (Ga.) three-star safety Jamal […]
Another day, another de-commitment. On the heels of Tuesday’s news that Louisville (Ky.) Ballard four-star linebacker Jared Casey backed away from his verbal commitment to Oregon, the Ducks received another hit to their 2019 recruiting class Wednesday when Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei four-star defensive back Jeremiah Criddell also announced his de-commitment from Oregon. God […]
In football, injuries are as inevitable as death and taxes. Attrition affects every team. Ask any coach, any player, anyone who closely covers or watches the game, quality depth throughout your roster is critical to sustained success – over the course of a season, over the course of a coaching tenure.

In total, the Ducks return 11 players who started at least one game a year ago; a group that doesn’t include regulars such as redshirt junior defensive lineman Gary Baker […]
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 Ducks may have lost two defensive back recruits in June following the de-commitment of Cameron Williams and Marques Caldwell, but that seemingly hasn’t proven to be much of an obstacle as they look to fill those voids in the 2019 recruiting class, as Monday, Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal received a verbal commitment from […]
Behold! Football season is nigh! Believe it or not, mere weeks separate us between now and the start of fall camp for the Oregon Ducks. As preseason camp fast approaches, we at WFOD will be rolling out a series of previews to help fully prepare you for the upcoming season. Sunday marks the continuation of […]
You guys remember that scene in Home Alone when Kevin sneaks into Buzz’s room to nose through his things before stumbling across a picture of Buzz’s girlfriend? Admittedly, it’s a dramatic parallel to make when considering Oregon’s depth at cornerback, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t pretty much the first thing that […]
