Four Preseason All-Americans and a Rising 2027 Class as the Countdown to Boise State Begins

Four Ducks landed on the Walter Camp Preseason All-America teams on June 30: DB Brandon Finney Jr. and OLB Teitum Tuioti on the first team, TE Jamari Johnson and DL A'Mauri Washington on the second, tied for the second-most selections of any program in the country. On the recruiting trail, the 2027 class keeps climbing, adding five-star WR Xavier Sabb (July 3) plus defensive back Hayden Stepp and athlete Tae Walden Jr. (both July 1), top three nationally and No. 1 in the Big Ten. And the road to kickoff is set: Oregon opens at home against Boise State on Sept 5 (12:30 PT, CBS) at Autzen.
