Oregon just landed a five-star defensive end in Rashad Streets, who flipped Alabama and Ohio State to join the Ducks — and he’s already recruiting his own future teammates. Streets is reportedly telling top 2027 prospect David Jacobs, Ohio State’s top edge rusher, to “come to the O, bro,” calling staying in Columbus “ass.” With over 30 sacks in three seasons, Jacobs could be a game-changer for Oregon’s defense, especially as key linemen exit after 2026. Streets, already a standout with elite speed and physicality, anchors a rising Ducks class ranked fourth nationally and first in the Big Ten — building a dominant future one commitment at a time.

Oregon’s running back future just got a major upgrade with freshman Brandon Smith, a four-star recruit from Fresno, already making waves in fall camp. Standing at 6’2”, weighing 203 pounds, Smith boasts explosive speed and power, racking up over 2,000 rushing yards and 32 touchdowns in high school. Teammates like Dierre Hill Jr. are comparing him to Saquon Barkley, while linebacker Devon Jackson says he “torched” defenses in practice. Despite not being the top-rated freshman RB, Smith’s early impact suggests he could debut against Boise State on Sept. 5 — and possibly be the Ducks’ secret weapon right out of the gate.

Oregon’s injury report is looking surprisingly clean heading into the season opener, with key players like Evan Stewart, Trey McNutt, and Dylan Raiola all cleared to play after missing time last year. While Dillon Gresham and Brayden Platt remain sidelined—Gresham’s neck issue still uncertain and Platt recovering from an undisclosed spring injury—the Ducks have fall camp to adjust. The return of Dave Iuli, who tore his tricep in spring, is a major boost for the young offensive line. With Jordon Davison also healthy and no lingering doubts, Oregon appears poised to field a strong, injury-free roster for their first game.
