A busy early-season weekend is on deck for Oregon’s football commitments, with several future Ducks already getting a head start on their senior campaigns and a few more set to open up right away.
Last week gave Oregon fans a little preview of what’s coming. Three commits came away with season-opening wins: four-star cornerback Hayden Stepp and Bishop Gorman rolled to a 41-0 victory that was stopped at halftime because of lightning, Top 100 linebacker Toa Satele helped Mililani hold off Liberty of Henderson, Nevada, 31-24, and Sam Ngata’s Olympus squad opened with a 49-14 win.
Now the slate widens. Cam Pritchett and Rashad Streets both played Thursday, Brayton Feister and Lex Mailangi are set for Friday, and Tae Walden gets going Saturday. Stepp, Satele and Ngata are back for their second games of the season, and Stepp’s matchup is the one drawing the most attention.
Stepp and Bishop Gorman are in the national spotlight Friday at 7 p.m. PT when they host St.
John Bosco in a showdown between the nation’s No. 2 and No. 1 teams. Bosco comes in with six Top 100 recruits in the 2027 California class, all of them on defense, and Bishop Gorman will also have to deal with the 2028 QB-WR tandem of Koa Malau'ulu and DJ Tubbs, both of whom hold Oregon offers.
Pritchett, a four-star edge from Thompson High School in Alabama, already had his senior season underway Thursday, and Thompson started with a 41-14 win at Central High School. Thompson entered the year as Alabama’s No. 1 team.
Streets, the five-star edge commit from Millbrook in North Carolina, also got rolling Thursday and helped his team post a 42-0 win over Garner. Millbrook opened the season ranked No. 9 in North Carolina by MaxPreps.
Feister will make his Oregon commitment debut Friday for Massillon Washington, Ohio’s No. 1 team, against Glenville, which sits No. 9 in the state. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m.
PT. When Feister lines up at running back, he’ll be going against three-star Colorado linebacker commit Kaylon Bailey, while three-star 2028 safety Jaquan Gibson is also in the mix.
Glenville has five recruits rated three stars across the 2027 and 2028 classes.
Mailangi and Mater Dei also open Friday, hosting American Fork of Utah at 7 p.m. PT. American Fork is ranked No. 9 in Utah, and its top names are on offense, led by Michigan tight end commit Christian Hanshaw.
Walden and Collierville begin Saturday with a home game against East Nashville Magnet at 3 p.m. PT. On defense, Walden will be matched up with three-star Western Kentucky quarterback commit Dallas Covington, and on offense he’ll see Mississippi State safety commit Ke'Vontae Pitts.
Satele’s second game comes in another major Hawaii matchup. Mililani, the state’s No. 1 team, hosts No.
3 St. Louis on Saturday at 4 p.m.
PT. Satele had a highlight pass breakup in the opening win over Liberty, and this week he’ll see a St.
Louis team with a strong quarterback history that includes Marcus Mariota, though the current roster features a pair of three-star defenders.
Ngata and Olympus are back home Friday at 6 p.m. PT against Skyline. After helping Olympus beat Cedar Valley 49-14 last week, Ngata will be tasked with slowing down three-star running back and Utah commit Jonah Mailei.

Dillon Thienemans NFL Learning Curve Suddenly Matters A Lot
Dillon Thienemans first NFL camp has become one of the more important development stories for Chicago, and not just because he entered as a rookie learning a new defensive language on the fly. The former Oregon safety has spent training camp getting up to speed with the Bears system and the faster processing demands that come with it, while also handling the usual growing pains that come with adjusting from college football to the pro game.
The timing has made the learning curve matter even more. With injuries thinning the secondary, Chicago needs Thieneman to keep trending in the right direction, and his progress has been noticeable in practice and preseason action, including an interception against the Bengals. The Bears are counting on him not just as depth, but as someone who can step into a larger role and help stabilize a safety group that has already been tested. [Read more 🡒]
Oregon's Backfield Future Just Got More Intriguing With This RB Commit
CaDarius McMiller keeps giving Oregon reasons to be excited about what comes next. The Ducks running back commit showed off his speed and athleticism during a preseason scrimmage at Tyler High School in Texas, and his track background only adds to the appeal. A 100-meter time of 10.59 seconds hints at the kind of burst that can change a backfield, especially for a program that keeps looking to reload with dynamic pieces.
For Oregon, the interesting part is not just the talent, but the timing. McMiller is expected to help shape the Ducks future in the backfield, and there is already some intrigue around whether he could enroll early and get a head start in spring practice. If that happens, it would give Oregon an even longer look at a runner who brings real speed to the table and seems built to fit the programs style. [Read more 🡒]
LSU Could Suddenly Have A Wild Roster Decision To Make
A Louisiana judges temporary injunction has cracked open a strange new lane in college football, allowing 30 former college athletes, including 16 football players now on NFL rosters, to return for one more season. For programs across the sport, the ruling has created an immediate gray area: do coaches treat it as a one-off legal wrinkle, or as a recruiting opportunity that could reshape a roster almost overnight?
Dan Lanning has already made clear where he stands, criticizing the decision as unfair to players who have earned their spots the hard way. But while Oregon is taking a principled line, other coaches such as North Carolinas Bill Belichick are weighing how to use the ruling, and some schools have already reached out to NFL players about the possibility of coming back. For the Ducks, it is another reminder that the transfer and eligibility landscape can change fast, even for teams trying to build stability from one season to the next. [Read more 🡒]
