With true freshmen shining in Oregon's early games this season, it shows how much difference elite recruiting can make in the outlook for a team.
Dakorien Moore, Cooper Perry, Brandon Finney, Dierre Hill, Nasir Wyatt and Jordon Davison have looked like Big Ten players in their first college action.
Meanwhile the next generation of Ducks begin their last season of college football. Last night 2026 quarterback commit Bryson Beaver connected on a 43-yard touchdown pass to Cash Bryant in Vista Murrieta's 29=10 win over Bishop Amat.

The Broncos blocked a field goal just before halftime, a punt in the second half. The punt block set them up on the 5-yard line, and Beaver found Bryant in the back of the end zone for another score.
The 6-3, 200 quarterback and Elite 11 Finalist completed 16-24 passes for 184 yards and three touchdowns, adding a two-yard touchdown run. He's led his team to a 3-0 start.
Tristan Phillips applies pressure
Ventura linebacker Tristan Phillips, 6-3, 215, committed to the Ducks since December 7, led his team to a 38-21 win over Camarillo. Last week he posted seven tackles and a quarterback hurry in a 35-6 win over Rio Mesa. The Cougars are off to a 2-1 start.
