The Ducks are undoubtedly a ******* le contender, but they need some key things to materialize.
Oregon enters the 2026 college football season with national championship expectations, and the Ducks have the talent to back it up. Oregon will be the most complete team in the country if three specific areas come together for Dan Lanning's squad this fall.
The return of wide receivers Dakorien Moore and Evan Stewart from an injury-impacted 2025 is the most important offensive development for Oregon this fall. Both are former 5-star recruits with explosive skill sets, and the upside is enormous if they can stay healthy and produce at the level their talent suggests.
Before Stewart's season-long injury, he produced 613 yards and five touchdowns in 2024. He flashed the upside to be one of the top playmakers in the country.
And Moore, despite being held back by nagging injuries as a true freshman, totaled 497 yards with a 14.6 average per reception.
