In the 2025 NFL Draft, Oregon had a program record of ten players drafted. It was the second year in a row the Ducks broke their record. This coming offseason, Oregon players are expected to once again have their names called in droves.
Dante Moore – Quarterback
It is unlikely the redshirt sophomore would enter the draft this spring. Moore had an unimpressive freshman season at UCLA, then transferred to Oregon and redshirted so he could sit behind Dillon Gabriel and learn from college football’s most experienced player.
If Moore does declare for the draft, his performance this year gives him a solid chance at going in the first round. His arm accuracy, decision making and poise when under pressure has the potential to catch the attention of NFL scouts. Possible fits for Moore include the New Orleans Saints, Cleveland Browns, New York Jets and Las Vegas Raiders. Those are all teams that have not had a stable quarterback situation in recent years and will likely take one in the first round.
Noah Whittington – Running back
The redshirt senior will have no eligibility at the end of the season. Whittington is in his fourth season with the Ducks and is the most experienced player in Oregon’s packed running back room. Some scouting reports have expressed concern over his lack of physical attributes and ability to power run, but his speed has led to some big gains on the ground. Whittington will most likely be a late-round pick in the draft. Possible fits include the Cleveland Browns and Los Angeles Rams, who could use some young talent in their backfields.
Matayo Uiagalelei – Defensive end
Uiagalelei has played all three seasons of his college career as a Duck. His success on the field has been driven by his size, efficiency in getting to the quarterback, long-arm moves to collapse the pocket, taking blocks with his hands and his unique ability to read trick plays. There is a high probability that Uiagalelei will declare for the draft after this season and would likely be a mid-late first round pick. Possible fits include the Chicago Bears, Detroit Lions and Cincinnati Bengals. These teams all have strong offenses and could use an extra spark on defense.
Kenyon Sadiq – Tight end
Most NFL Draft analysts view Sadiq as the best tight end in the country and expect him to be the first to come off the board this spring. Ducks fans have several memories of Sadiq hurdling or side-stepping his way out of a tackle on his way to the end zone burned into their minds forever. He has also shown great versatility in his ability to line up at any tight end or wide receiver position, or even in the backfield. Sadiq will likely go late in the first round. Possible fits include the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs. These teams both have older tight ends with uncertain futures and could use a younger guy for down the road.
Dillon Thieneman – Safety
The hero from Oregon’s thrilling double overtime win at Penn State will likely have the opportunity to step up in big moments as a pro next season. The junior defensive back is known for his ability to see the field, locate the football and track down the ball carrier regardless of the distance between them. Thieneman’s play against the run game this season has made him an enticing defensive back prospect this year. Thieneman is projected to be a late first round or early second round pick. Possible fits include the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles. These are also teams with strong offenses that could use some more talent on the defensive side.
Teitum Tuioti – Linebacker
The son of Oregon’s linebackers coach would have another year of eligibility if he does not declare for the draft. If he does, he would probably be a mid to late round pick. Tuioti is a sturdy run defender who uses his hands well while also being one of the Ducks’ most effective pass rushers. Possible fits include the Green Bay Packers and Indianapolis Colts. These are two organizations that have taken a major step in the right direction this year and could use some more young talent on the defensive front.
Isaiah World – Offensive lineman
The fifth year senior has the potential to become an NFL starter very quickly. Behind a 6-foot-8, 312-pound frame, World has shown strong instinct in his pass protection. He still has some room to grow as a run blocker, but would fit nicely into an offense that relies more on its passing game. World is projected to be a first round pick. Possible fits include the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions. These teams all have aging offensive lines and quarterbacks that are there to stay. They would all benefit greatly from a young body to protect the passing game.
