Evan Stewart - Senior
2024 Stats: 48 Receptions, 613 yards, 5 TD
Stewart joined the Ducks as a transfer from Texas A&M in 2024, and was one of the three primary starters for Oregon a season ago. The former #1 wideout in the class of 2022 has the ability to play in the slot, or split out wide, and is always a home run threat.
The opinion on Stewart amongst Oregon fans is rather split. Stewart was very up and down, and could essentially disappear from the offense for long stretches.
449 of Evan Stewart’s 613 yards came in four games. His role in the offense was crucial, even when he was not getting the ball. Stewart stretches the defense horizontally and vertically, and requires serious attention.
Stewart is the consensus wide receiver one for Will Stein’s offense in 2025, and is expected to step into a more versatile role, with a step up in production as well.
Justius Lowe - Redshirt Junior
2024 Stats: 21 Receptions, 203 Yards, 1 TD
The former 4-star recruit and Oregon native saw his first big opportunity in 2024, filling in for a suspended Traeshon Holden. Upon Holden’s return, Lowe still saw snaps, clearly impressing the staff. Lowe also filled in for an injured Evan Stewart in round two against Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.
Lowe broke through making plays against all three levels of opposing defenses, and was a valuable blocker in the run game as well. Based on his production and snap count in 2024, he can be penciled in as a heavy rotational player for the Ducks in 2025, at worst.
Gary Bryant Jr. - Redshirt Senior
2023 Stats: (Most recent full season) 30 Receptions, 442 Yards, 4 TD
The most veteran member of the receiver room, Gary Bryant will be a sixth year senior in 2025. Bryant came to Oregon by way of USC in 2023, and was an immediate contributor. Bryant and Traeshon Holden split the share of wide receiver three reps two seasons ago.
Coming off a leg injury during fall camp in 2024, Bryant looked like he lost some of the “pop” and speed Duck fans became accustomed to in 2023. How Bryant continues to return to full form throughout spring and fall practice will be telling of his role this season.
Like Lowe, Gary Bryant is also a valuable blocker in the run game, which is crucial to staying on the field on all three downs. Bryant will likely handle punt returning duties as well.
Dakorien Moore - True Freshman
It has been a long time since Oregon fans have been this excited for a true freshman, and Moore may be the most anticipated receiver prospect to ever step foot in Eugene. After all, he is the 2nd highest rated recruit in program history, according to 247Sports.
Moore could play in the slot or outside as a true wide receiver, and has a very well rounded skill set. Through his accomplished career at Duncanville High School in Texas, and at the multiple national all-American and all-star events he attended, his big play ability is very clear.
The raw talent is all there, the only question is if he can put it together as a true freshman at the collegiate level.
Perhaps we are too deep into the offseason, BUT, Dakorien Moore will be wearing the jersey number 1 for the Ducks. Any single digit number is generally reserved for starters and key contributors. Don’t read into it too much, but spring ball is for everyone to “drink the Kool-Aid”.
Kyler Kasper - Redshirt Junior
2024 Stats: 1 Reception, 21 Yards
A four star prospect in the class of 2022, Kasper has yet to produce as a Duck, but has not had much of an opportunity either.
He looked like he was poised for a fairly significant role in 2024, but a foot injury in practice sidelined him for nearly the entire season. Despite being on the field for 64 snaps a season ago, he hauled in just one pass for 21 yards.
Kasper’s frame offers an incredibly unique skill set, amongst a receiver corps lacking height. Standing at 6 feet 5 inches, he is a jump ball and red zone threat, and should be able to expose mismatches on opposing defenses.
The hope for Kasper to see significant snaps in 2025 comes from the rep share he received to start the 2024 season, and the unique skill set he brings to the table.
Malik Benson - Redshirt Senior
2024 Stats: 25 Receptions, 311 Yards, 1 TD
Benson was the highest rated JUCO prospect in the class of 2023, and committed to Alabama. Following Nick Saban’s departure, he transferred to FSU, who had a dreadful season.
It is difficult to get a grasp of Benson’s talent at the collegiate level, as he was stuck behind an extremely talented group of receivers with the Crimson Tide, and had woeful quarterback play at FSU.
Benson is a low-risk, high-reward addition for Oregon. Because of the impressive efforts put forward by Dan Lanning and his staff on the recruiting trail, they are not relying on Malik Benson to be a contributor, but he could be a solid piece if he is able to understand the system and put it all together.
The receiver room lost its leader in Tez Johnson, and given Benson’s college experience, he could emerge as one of the leaders in the room, despite 2025 being his first year as a Duck.
Jeremiah McClellan - Redshirt Freshman
2024 Stats: 3 Receptions, 24 Yards
McClellan utilized his redshirt last season, after flipping from Ohio State, as a high rated four star in the class of 2024. Odds are, McClellan will have to wait another season for a large role in Will Stein’s offense, but there have been early spring rumblings of his talent being on display.
He had an impressive grab in the 2024 spring game, and caught passes in wins against Purdue, Illinois and Washington.
Jurrion Dickey - Redshirt Sophomore
2024 Stats: 1 Reception, 7 Yards
Dickey has been one of the biggest question marks on the roster the last two seasons. He was injured for a majority of 2023, following a knee injury during his senior year of high school.
Dickey told Zachary Neel of USA Today that he gained weight during his recovery process. This went into his decision to wear the jersey number 99 as a wide receiver as a true freshman, which certainly appeared as an odd choice.
Dickey dropped weight, switched his number to 13, and many fans thought he would have a chance to contribute. He played just 22 snaps on offense, and caught one pass all season.
As a former five star prospect, expectations were high for Dickey, but due to injury and an embarrassment of riches ahead of him, he has yet to see the field in a meaningful way.
