With kickoff to the 2019 season a little over nine weeks away, there’s substantial buzz around the Oregon football program and the opportunity that lies before them entering Mario Cristobal’s second season as head coach. And the reasons for the optimism are valid. For one, the Ducks return Justin Herbert, who could very well be […]
With a little less than a week to go before June comes to an end, the Ducks have officially matched the number of commits they received during this month last year en route to a top 10 recruiting class for the 2019 cycle. On Monday, Sparks (Nev.) Spanish Springs three-star linebacker Jackson LaDuke became the […]
DJ Uiagalelei. Kendall Milton. Justin Flowe. Sav’ell Smalls. Elias Ricks. Kelee Ringo. Darnell Washington. What do these seven names have in common?

“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 may not be the quarterback commitment that fans of Oregon football were originally hoping for (see DJ Uiagalelei), but it’s a quarterback commitment that should be met with open celebration from Duck fans nevertheless. That’s because Friday, Brentwood (Calif.) Liberty four-star quarterback Jay Butterfield announced his verbal commitment to the University of Oregon, giving […]
If you’ve had WFOD on lock the last several days, then you’re probably well-acquainted with our multi-part series that aimed to re-examine the 2020 recruiting landscape for the Ducks entering the May evaluation period.

With spring football now squarely in the rear-view mirror and the dog days of late spring and summer lying just beyond the horizon, now feels like as good a time as any to re-evaluate where things stand with some of the biggest targets for the Ducks in the 2020 recruiting cycle.
