Dan Lanning Reveals Excitement For Returning Players

The importance of quarterback Dante Moore's decision to return to Oregon for 2026 instead of go to the NFL cannot be overstated. Moore's return paired with center Iapani "Poncho" Laloulu electing to forgo the 2026 NFL Draft is a serious advantage for the Ducks.

However, it presents a new challenge for Oregon - avoid complacency at all costs.

“I think it's we're walking into a completely different situation than last year, where you saw 10 guys go on to the NFL, and it's like, okay, we're gonna have some new faces out there. We're gonna have to find some new leadership. Now, it's like, okay, we got some leaders coming back,” Lanning said this offseason.

“What do we got to fight? We can't be complacent, right? We're not going to get there just because we have no on our chest. We got to do some work. So I'm excited for those guys to come back. I'm more excited to see how much they grow. What are they willing to commit to? What habit can they develop that, you know, matches the goals that they have? And so that's going to be the new exciting challenge for us as a coaching staff,” Lanning continued.

On offense, the Ducks return several stars from last season at the wide receiver position, including Dakorien Moore and Jeremiah McClellan. Oregon wide receiver Evan Stewart is expected to be back at full strength after missing the entire 2025 season with a right knee injury. Oregon also returns tight end Jamari Johnson and two notable pieces at running back, Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill Jr. 

The Ducks defense looks to again be dominant with the return of defensive linemen A’Mauri Washington, Bear Alexander, linebacker Teitum Tuioti and defensive end Matayo Uiagalelei all coming back for 2026 despite high NFL Draft stocks.

Oregon's Updated National Championship Odds

One major storyline heading into the Ducks' spring football practices is their hunt for their first-ever National Championship in year five under Lanning. When Moore elected for forgo the 2026 NFL Draft and return to Eugene for another season, the Ducks became instant contenders.
