Oregon’s 2026 roster update brought a fresh look at just how much bodies have changed across the program, and a few numbers jump out immediately.
The Ducks released multiple rosters this offseason, but Wednesday night’s version finally gave the new heights and weights for every player on the 2026 team. It confirmed what several players have already talked about: this offseason was about reshaping bodies, not just sharpening skills.
Quarterback Dante Moore is up 14 pounds, now listed at 220. On the other side of that coin, edge rusher Matayo Uiagalelei trimmed down seven pounds to 265, matching the goal he set for himself to get quicker and bendier on the edge. Nasir Wyatt, meanwhile, went in the opposite direction, adding 17 pounds and landing at 245 as he looks to be more physical while also giving Oregon flexibility to move him around on defense.
The freshman class is where the roster really starts to get wild.
Tank Jones, originally recruited as an edge player, is listed at 6-foot-3 and 301 pounds. Defensive line coach Tony Tuioti had already said Jones was around 300, and the official number backs up the idea that Oregon sees a path for him to help right away either on the edge or with a hand in the turf.
Then there are the two heaviest Ducks on the roster: Immanuel Iheanacho and Tommy Tofi. Iheanacho checks in at 6-foot-6, 365 pounds, while Tofi is listed at 6-foot-6, 360.
Tofi turned heads in the spring and could be in line to start on the offensive line to open the season. Iheanacho arrived in the summer and is still catching up, but he has the size to step in if needed.
A few other size changes stand out, too. Defensive tackle Matt Johnson is up 24 pounds to 319, and that’s the biggest gain on the roster.
He’s been drawing praise since spring, flashed in the spring game, and kept it going in fall camp. Dan Lanning said Johnson could see “significant snaps” this season as one of Oregon’s top reserve options on the defensive line.
Elijah Rushing also added 15 pounds and now sits at 290.
Wyatt’s jump matters because coaches have talked this week about his versatility and his growth in run fits. Linebackers coach Brian Michalowski and edge rushers coach Kam Araghi both pointed to that development, suggesting Wyatt could even get work at inside linebacker. Whether he’s rushing off the edge or plugging gaps inside, the added bulk should help him handle both jobs.
Oregon also unveiled the size of some notable freshmen who already look built for the college game. Jett Washington is listed at 6-foot-5 and 217 pounds, giving the Ducks one of their tallest defenders and a physical presence in the secondary.
Freshman tight end Kendre Harrison is the tallest player on the team at 6-foot-7 and weighs 250 pounds. The basketball star is expected to contribute as the backup tight end this year.

Oregon Finally Rewards A Local Star Who Kept Grinding
During fall camp, Dan Lanning made sure a longtime grinder got a moment worth remembering when Oregon awarded scholarships to walk-ons Zach Grisham and a teammate. For Grisham, a former high school state champion who came to Eugene as a walk-on after first preparing for junior college, the news marked another step in a journey built on persistence, special teams work and defensive depth snaps.
Grisham has carved out a role in 12 games this season, and his path has been a familiar one for a roster that values effort as much as talent. He is expected to finish his college eligibility this year, which gives the scholarship move a little extra meaning for a player who kept earning trust the hard way and finally got rewarded for it.

Malique Ewins Oregon Path Suddenly Hinges On A New Eligibility Fight
Malique Ewins Oregon path has been thrown into the same kind of legal limbo that has started to shadow a growing number of college athletes. A federal judge had initially opened the door for players who began their college careers in 2022-23 to compete in a fifth season, and for a brief stretch that seemed to clear the way for Ewin to be part of Oregon basketballs plans. For a program trying to piece together its roster, the timing of any eligibility ruling matters almost as much as the ruling itself.
Now the picture has shifted again after the Tenth Circuit Court granted the NCAAs request for a stay, stripping away that federal protection while the case moves through appeal. Some athletes are still protected by temporary restraining orders in state court cases, but the broader legal fight remains unsettled, and Ewin is among the players whose status can change with the next filing or hearing. For Oregon, it is another reminder that roster building this time of year can be shaped as much by courtrooms as by practice gyms. [Read more 🡒]
Oregon Just Got A Big Recruiting Chance With Elite DB Trending Its Way
Oregon is already laying the groundwork for its 2028 recruiting class, and there is at least some early momentum to point to even before the first commitment lands. The Ducks have not added anyone yet, but the combination of their on-field performance and the anticipation around the upcoming season has helped keep them in the mix with several top prospects, including a few names coming out of Mission Viejo.
One of the most important is defensive back Jordan Hicks, a highly ranked 2028 recruit who has Oregon among his final eight schools. Hicks has also indicated the Ducks are sitting in an early lead in his recruitment, which gives Dan Lannings staff a real opening as the process develops. Oregon is also staying involved with other Mission Viejo targets, including quarterback Josiah Boyd, as the Ducks look to turn early interest into real class-building traction. [Read more 🡒]
