FRESHMEN WITH HIGH EXPECTATIONS TO WATCH IN 2022: EVAN STEWART, WR, TEXAS A&M,... Another of the Aggies' five-star recruits, Stewart stole the show in the spring game with seven catches, then impressed coach Jimbo Fisher in the summer. "Every day in the offseason program he was out front leading everybody running and doing things, and he's been very productive in all the practices and scrimmages," Fisher said. Stewart was the offensive MVP of the spring. - AP College Football

Oregon will open the 2022 season in the top 15 of the Associated Press poll for a four straight year. The Ducks are No. 11 with a total of 831 points in the AP preseason top 25 poll released Monday. It is the 14th time in the last 15 seasons Oregon will open the year ranked and third time in four years UO is No. 11 in the preseason poll. The Ducks, who are No. 12 in the preseason AFCA coaches poll, went 10-4 and won the Pac-12 North division before losing in the conference championship game and Alamo Bowl last season and finished No. 22 in the final AP poll. The second highest-ranked Pac-12 team, Oregon is behind No. 7 Utah from the conference with only No. 14 USC also ranked within the league and UCLA received votes. - The Oregonian

Oregon Ducks football players are the latest to band together to form a collective that will pool name, image and likeness compensation related to an online community. The Eugene NIL Club launched Wednesday via YOKE, the same outlet that gained early adoption last year by college athletes looking to earn NIL compensation by playing fans in video games via its platform, with the goal of supporting at least 75 players. Donors to the collective can give any amount starting at $5 per month to participate in message boards and chat rooms, digital events with players and to watch player-generated content related to games and practices. For at least $25 per month, a member will receive a Justin Herbert Oregon jersey and for at least $100 per month a donor will be invited to a steak dinner with players this fall.

By midnight Wednesday, 182 members had pledged over $4,600 towards the club's monthly goal of $50,000. By comparison, the University of Pittsburgh launched the Steel City NIL Club on Wednesday and raised over $8,200 via 340 members. YOKE says it has an 18% "platform fee" associated with running the various team-related collectives, which also include similar operations at Arkansas, Auburn, Kansas State and Michigan State, among others. - The Oregonian

08/11/22 - Nikko Reed, rSr/2025, Oregon + More +

The leap from high school to college football isn't an easy one, as Nikko Reed found out a year ago. Entering his second season with the Colorado Buffaloes, Reed is much more comfortable. "I have been more locked in than I was last year," the true sophomore cornerback said after a recent practice. "I feel like camp was a bit of a struggle for me last year, but now that I've kind of gotten used to it, I'm locked in more." The struggle, Reed said, came from trying to learn the cornerback technique while going up against bigger and faster competition than he ever saw in high school.

Despite the struggle, Reed flashed his talent last season, playing 199 snaps and recording eight tackles, two pass breakups and an interception. He also had one kickoff return, taking it 100 yards for a touchdown in the finale against Utah. This year, the Buffs are counting on Reed to take the next step, as he's projected to be a starter. CU has very little experience in the secondary, so it is leaning on Reed and his 2021 recruiting classmates Kaylin Moore, Tyrin Taylor and Trevor Woods. "Nikko is having a great camp, Kaylin's having a really good camp and Tyrin," CU head coach Karl Dorrell said. "They're doing veteran things right now." - Daily Camera

The Oregon Ducks football team will open the 2022 season with the same ranking in the coaches poll as it had last year. The Ducks are No. 12 in the preseason poll released Monday with 734 points, second-highest among Pac-12 teams. Oregon, which finished 10-4 last season and lost in the Pac-12 Championship game and Alamo Bowl, will be ranked to start a season ranked for the 14th time in the 15 seasons. The Ducks are scheduled to play two other ranked teams: No. 3 Georgia and No. 8 Utah. No. 15 USC also was ranked from the Pac-12, while UCLA and Oregon State also received votes. - The Oregonian

08/10/22 - Brandon Dorlus, rSr/2024, Oregon + More +

No Oregon Ducks position group has been more significantly and enormously enhanced this offseason than the interior defensive line. Starters Brandon Dorlus, Popo Aumavae and Keyon Ware-Hudson all missed spring following winter surgeries and have returned to the field. Jordon Riley and Casey Rogers each arrived from Nebraska, where they played for Ducks defensive line coach Tony Tuioti. Then Sir Mells and Ben Roberts arrived, giving Oregon seven more players to open fall camp - two more scholarship players than the Ducks had in the spring.

"Going through the spring...when you're banged up, you realize, 'OK, this is the place where we got to try to make this a strength,'" Oregon coach Dan Lanning said. "Casey and Jordon are obviously guys Coach Tuioti had worked with in the past. So we had a really intimate knowledge of them and their work ethic and what kind of players they are. That certainly helped us. "But I can't say enough good things. I'll tell you one guy that I don't think is getting enough praise is Brandon Dorlus. He didn't go through the spring. But Brandon's leadership, his work ethic, those guys follow in. I've been really excited to see that. Obviously, Popo and Keyon back is a big piece of our future success. Tony is an extreme perfectionist and (defensive coordinator Tosh) Lupoi also has an extensive background in the front seven. Those guys being able to develop these guys, I can't say enough for guys that we didn't necessarily recruit but they're buy-in." - The Oregonian

08/10/22 - T.J. Bass, rSr/2023, Oregon + More +

Oregon opened fall camp with its top offensive lineman limited. T.J. Bass, a first team all-Pac-12 selection by the league's coaches last season, was one of the only limited players for the Ducks during their first practice of fall camp Friday afternoon at the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex. There was no apparent or obvious injury to Bass. After stretching, freshman receiver Justius Lowe went to the side to work with a trainer and rode an exercise bike. Oregon coach Dan Lanning said the issues for Bass and Lowe were not significant. Otherwise, there weren't any apparent absences for UO. - The Oregonian

08/06/22 - Dillon Gabriel, rSr/2025, Oregon + More +

If it makes anyone feel better, Dillon Gabriel is not high among the quarterbacks listed in the myriad NFL Draft prospecti that flood the marketplace. Probably because Gabriel is 6-foot tall only on tippytoes. Not that being vertically challenged is an insurmountable curse. At the 2018 NFL Combine, Mayfield measured 5/8 of an inch over 6-foot. A year later, Murray measured 5-foot-10. Both went No. 1 in the draft. Gabriel is listed at 5-foot-11. "It's just something I was born with," Gabriel said Tuesday. "Can't control that one, right? But everything I do in the building and the way I work is what I can control, and just being really good at that, knowing I'm not 6-5, but shoot, I'm going to get it done whichever way I can."

Not to wish ill will on Gabriel's future, but the best-case scenario for OU football is that he has the kind of season Lebby predicted - unmatched production, leadership and experience - while NFL decision-makers worry about his height. Either way, the scouts won't likely doubt Gabriel's arm. "One of the greatest things Dillon does is throw the deep ball," Lebby said. "If you look at all of his throws on tape to his freshman and sophomore years and before he got hurt last year (at UCF), he can push the ball down the field. He's got great touch on it, understands how to get the ball out of his hand a little earlier if he needs to. That's a strength of his for sure." - Daily Oklahoman

08/06/22 - Jordan Burch, rSr/2025, Oregon + More +

Jordan Burch and Jordan Strachan are set to start at "Buck," or defensive end/pass-rusher in USC's terminology, replacing Aaron Sterling and JJ Enagbare. Each flashed at times last year in backup roles, but they're the guys now. "I feel this was probably the best football I've played since I've been here," Burch said after the spring game. "I feel like right now, everything's flowing. I really have everything now, I feel like." The game has changed so much that it's difficult to get a lot of sacks, but disrupting the offense by getting in the quarterback's face is certainly doable. Burch was one of the best prospects in the country when he signed and Strachan tied for the nation's lead in sacks in 2020 at Georgia State. USC needs the two to give them that consistent punch on defense, especially against the run. - The Post and Courier

08/05/22 - Jordan Burch, rSr/2025, Oregon + More +

Jordan Burch is one of the highest-ranked high school recruits to ever sign to play football at South Carolina. After two years playing behind the likes of Aaron Sterling and NFL Draft pick Kingsley Enagbare, Burch is now a junior and is being counted on for increased production in the 2022 season. USC coach Shane Beamer said as much during the spring and reiterated it while talking to reporters after his media golf tournament last week. "Jordan Burch knows that it is his time," Beamer said. During his high school career, Burch ascended to be the No. 1 recruit in the country - the five-star prospect finished No. 8 overall in the 247Sports Composite rankings when he signed to play at South Carolina. He was the second-highest-rated signee for USC, according to those rankings, behind only Jadeveon Clowney.

Burch had 19 tackles as a freshman, but his season was cut short because of a hand injury. In 2021, he appeared in every game, had 26 tackles and returned a fumble for a touchdown against Vanderbilt. Burch, now 6-foot-6 and 275 pounds, also made his first career start in the Duke's Mayo Bowl victory over North Carolina. "He is definitely physically gifted and the sky's the limit for him," South Carolina defensive ends coach Sterling Lucas said. "He has been working hard and bought into all the techniques that we are coaching. I'm really excited about him and the production that is to come." - Rock Hill Herald

The Oregon Ducks who were limited or missed spring practice due to injury are all on track to return to the field during fall camp. Defensive tackles Brandon Dorlus, Popo Aumavae and Keyon Ware-Hudson, tight ends Cam McCormick and Patrick Herbert, and offensive lineman Michael Wooten, were limited to non-contact practice in the spring due to offseason surgeries or because they were recovering from in-season injuries. "I think everybody should be ready to go," Oregon coach Dan Lanning said Friday at Pac-12 media day. Inside linebacker Justin Flowe, safety Daymon David and a few other players were also limited in the spring. The front seven of Oregon's defense was stretched thin during the spring because of the various absences, but should be back to full strength when camp opens next week. - The Oregonian
