It’s been said before, and deserves to be said again – recruiting has forever been, and will forever be, one of wildest beats around. If you need validation, look no further than what has recently transpired in the roller coaster recruitments of Bru McCoy and Chris Steele, two of the most highly-touted prospects from southern […]
“Go west, young man!” Those may not have necessarily been the words going through Chris Steele‘s head earlier this spring, but they certainly rang true in recent weeks as the true freshman announced his intention to transfer from the University of Florida. This following a disturbing incident involving a former teammate and roommate of Steele’s […]
It feels almost incomprehensible considering the start of the February signing period was just a few short weeks ago, but ready or not, the unofficial start of the 2019 season is right around the corner. March 7 marks the beginning of spring football for the Ducks, and similar to last year, the Ducks will have […]
After securing its first bowl victory since 2015, in addition to its first nine-win season since the same calendar year, the Oregon football program was hit with a sobering dose of reality just two days into 2019. On Wednesday, Ducks junior wide receiver Dillon Mitchell announced he would be foregoing his senior season at Oregon […]
In football, injuries are as inevitable as death and taxes. Attrition affects every team.

It was only a couple weeks ago when WFOD doled out a handful of preseason superlatives for Oregon’s wide receiver group […]
Oregon’s annual “Saturday Night Live” event – initially implemented by former head coach Willie Taggart – is billed as arguably the biggest recruiting weekend of the offseason, save for perhaps the spring game. Taking place one week before the start of fall camp, Saturday Night Live is a chance for the Oregon coaching staff to […]
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 […]
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. Monday marks the continuation of […]
After months of trudging through the bleak hinterlands on the sports calendar, we can finally, and without reservation, begin turning our attention to the onset of autumn and the start of football.
