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, 6-4, 321 (DS#20 OG) + 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, 5-11, 205 (DS#12 QB) + 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, 6-4, 279 (DS#9 DE) + 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, 6-4, 279 (DS#9 DE) + 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

The Oregon Ducks are picked to finish second and the Oregon State Beavers fifth, according to the Pac-12 Conference preseason media poll released Thursday afternoon. The Utah Utes were picked to win the conference, earning 26 of a possible 33 first-place votes. The poll was unveiled in advance of Friday's Pac-12 media day in Los Angeles. The conference preseason poll was constructed as a 1-through-12 finish rather than according to divisions, as the Pac-12 will take the top two teams for its 2022 championship game. In the past, the Pac-12?s division champions played in the championship game. Divisions remain intact for scheduling purposes this season. Utah earned 384 total points, beating out Oregon (345) for first place. USC finished third, UCLA fourth and OSU fifth. - The Oregonian
