Quarterbacks

Settled at the top. Elite depth.
Moore is the unquestioned starter and a preseason Heisman candidate. Raiola gives Oregon the best backup in the country. Akili Smith Jr. (son of the former Duck QB) adds developmental depth. This is the deepest QB room in college football.
R-Junior Returning Starter
3,565 yards, 30 TDs, 10 INTs in 2025. Turned down projected #2 pick to return.
Dylan Raiola
QB
Junior Transfer (Nebraska)
from Nebraska
4,819 career yards, 31 TDs at Nebraska. Recovering from broken fibula (Nov 1 vs. USC). Being managed in spring practice. Expected insurance and future starter.
Akili Smith Jr.
QB
R-Freshman Returning
Son of former Duck QB Akili Smith. 6-5, 231 lbs. Developmental prospect.

Running Backs

Talented starters. Thin behind them.
Davison and Hill combined for 1,323 yards and 15 TDs as true freshmen in 2025. They are the future. But behind them, the room emptied out: Hughes to Houston, Limar to Washington, Harris to K-State. Simeon Price (Colorado transfer) and Tradarian Ball (4-star freshman) add depth, but this group needs to stay healthy.
Jordon Davison
RB
Sophomore Returning Starter
6-0, 236 lbs. Lead back entering 2026. Part of the freshman duo that combined for 1,323 yards and 15 TDs.
Dierre Hill Jr.
RB
Sophomore Returning
5-11, 205 lbs. Rotational back in 2025. The other half of the freshman duo.
Simeon Price
RB
R-Senior Transfer (Colorado)
from Colorado
Veteran depth via Mississippi State and Coastal Carolina before Colorado.
Tradarian Ball
RB
Freshman Freshman
#9 RB nationally per 247Sports. 4-star early enrollee practicing this spring.

Wide Receivers

Young talent with one proven veteran.
Evan Stewart is the most experienced receiver on the roster after transferring from Texas A&M in 2024. Dakorien Moore, the former #1 WR nationally from the 2025 class, is the highest-upside player in the room. Jeremiah McClellan got meaningful reps in 2025. Five-star Jalen Lott arrives this summer. The room is talented but unproven as a unit.
Evan Stewart
WR
R-Senior Returning
#7. 6-0, 170 lbs. Most experienced WR. Texas A&M transfer (2024). Tore patellar tendon June 2025, missed entire season. Back for spring practice Day 1, ahead of schedule.

Tight Ends

Solid starter. Five-star freshman arriving.
Jamari Johnson is the likely TE1 entering spring at 6-5, 257 lbs. The big addition is Kendre Harrison, a five-star early enrollee at 6-7, 243 lbs who could contribute immediately. Torrence Williams provides developmental depth.

Offensive Line

The biggest question mark on the roster.
Lost three starters: LG Emmanuel Pregnon (NFL Draft), LT Alex Harkey (NFL Draft), RT Isaiah World (NFL Draft). Center Iapani Laloulu returned, forgoing the draft. Dave Iuli returns at left guard with nearly 20 career starts. Kawika Rogers provides experienced depth. Five-star OL Immanuel Iheanacho and five-star OL Tommy Tofi arrive this summer. Two starting spots are open (LT, RT) and this is the position group that will define the ceiling of the 2026 team.
Iapani Laloulu
C
Senior Returning Starter
6-2, 329 lbs. Center. Returned instead of entering the NFL Draft.
Dave Iuli
LG
R-Senior Returning Starter

6-6, 315 lbs. Vancouver, WA. In the starting competition.
Immanuel Iheanacho
OL
Freshman Freshman
5-star, #29 nationally. Arriving summer 2026. Could start immediately.

Defensive Line

Best in the country. Multiple NFL prospects.
The strength of the entire team. A'Mauri Washington and Bear Alexander anchor the interior with legitimate first-round NFL talent. D'Antre Robinson (UNC transfer) adds depth. Five-star Tony Cumberland enrolled early. This is the deepest, most talented defensive line Oregon has ever had.
A'Mauri Washington
DL
Senior Returning Starter
6-3, 330 lbs. Interior anchor. Returned despite having NFL Draft stock.
Bear Alexander
DL
R-Senior Returning Starter

Edge Rushers

Elite. Two NFL-caliber starters plus a rising star.
Matayo Uiagalelei and Teitum Tuioti both returned despite having NFL Draft stock. That gives Chris Hampton two proven pass rushers on the outside. Elijah Rushing, a former 5-star from the 2024 class at 6-6, 275, is the breakout candidate. Five-star Anthony Jones Jr. enrolled early.
Matayo Uiagalelei

Linebackers

Experienced starter. Young depth developing.
Jerry Mixon is the anchor at 6-2, 240 as the top returning linebacker. Devon Jackson provides experienced depth. Brayden Platt and Dylan Williams, both from the 2024 recruiting class, are developing behind the starters. This group is solid but not as deep as the defensive line.

Defensive Backs

Deepest secondary talent Oregon has ever stockpiled.
Peyton Woodyard is the top returning safety. Koi Perich (Minnesota transfer, Freshman All-American with 5 INTs) is the biggest portal get. Na'eem Offord, Brandon Finney, and Dorian Brew were all five-star CBs in the 2025 class. Five-star Jett Washington enrolled early. Six DBs signed in the 2026 class alone. Hampton has options everywhere.
