Since the 2000s, fans of the Oregon Ducks have had a lot to cheer for. With arguably the best uniforms in collegiate football and a nearly unlimited NIL budget backed by Nike founder Phil Knight, the Ducks are bound to be a hotspot for recruits for a while. Unfortunately, the on-field looks and the off-field spending have not translated to a National Championship, but the 2025 recruiting class, led by Dakorien Moore, looks to bring the first national title to Eugene.
Dakorien Moore
Duncanville, TX (Duncanville)
#3 NAT, #1 WR, #1 TX
At 5’11″, 182 lbs., Dakorien Moore has a great build for a wide receiver. He uses his speed and footwork as a great route runner to create space. When the defender recovers, Moore has a vertical that can help him rise to make difficult catches. On screens, he shows his patience and waits for the ball, which is a great trait for a young wide receiver. With all of his physical and mental tools, the No. 1 wide receiver in the 2025 class could make an impact on the field immediately for the Ducks.
Moore is a track athlete, placing fifth in the Texas 6A championship in the long jump and second in the 4×100 relay.
He had 33 offers, but chose the Ducks over schools like Ohio State, Ole Miss, and Penn State.
Dallas Wilson
Tampa, FL (Tampa Bay Tech)
#21 NAT, #5 WR,#4 FL
At 6’3″, 195 lbs., Dallas Wilson has great size and should be a big target for the Ducks. He’s long and quick, making him a threat whenever he gets the ball. On short routes, he is quick to turn the corner and find holes in the defense for big gains and is a great route runner going deep. His ability to rise and grab 50-50 balls should make him a fan favorite, and pairing him up with Dakorien Moore is a recipe for an exciting offense in Eugene.

Wilson ran track in high school, posting an 11.00 in the 100-meter dash.
He held 34 offers, but ultimately chose Oregon over schools like Florida State, Alabama, and Michigan.
Trey McNutt
Cleveland, OH (Shaker Heights)
#20 NAT, #1 S, #2 OH
As the No. 1-ranked safety in the 2025 class, Trey McNutt looks to become the leader of the Oregon defense. At 6’, 180 lbs., McNutt has the physical tools to be great. He plays relaxed on defense, but understands what his job is on the field. While McNutt is not a player that will get many interceptions, he makes sure he will not let anyone get behind him. While in the zone, McNutt reacts quickly, breaks up passes through hits, and plays the ball. In man, he sticks to his assignment and makes the offense wait to get separation. McNutt will have to work, but he should make an impact quickly for the Ducks.
McNutt also runs track, posting a 10.82 time in the 100-meter dash.
He had his choice of schools, holding 37 offers, ultimately choosing the Ducks over schools like Wisconsin, Colorado, and Georgia.
