Assessing Terrance Ferguson's performance at the 2024 NFL Combine
The 2025 NFL Combine continued for the Oregon Ducks on Thursday, with senior tight end Terrance Ferguson leading the way, hitting the field for some drills and getting his measurables taken.
Ferguson was among the biggest winners of the day for the tight ends who took the field, turning heads in just about every drill. On Thursday, Ferguson stated that he knew his 40-yard dash time was going to be quick, so the expectations were set pretty high going into Friday's drill.
Ferguson lived up to those expectations, posting the fastest time among all TE's.
In the end, Ferguson received a combine score of 6.0, with a tag of "traits or talents to be an above average backup," according to NFL.com.
Here's a look at all of Ferguson's numbers from the day:
Measurables
Height: 6-foot-5
Weight: 247 pounds
Hand Size: 9 1/4 inches
Arm Length: 32 7/8 inches
40-yard Dash
Time: 4.63 seconds
Rank at Position: 1st of 14 Players
Terrance Ferguson turned some heads in the 40-yard dash on Friday, running a 4.64u in his first attempt, which was the fastest of the group. He bettered that with his second attempt, clocking a 4.63, which stood as the fastest among all TE's to run.
The second fastest was South Carolina's Joshua Simon at 4.65.
10-Yard Split
Official Split Time: 1.55 seconds
Rank at Position: T1st of 14 Players
Ferguson was tied for the fastest 10-yard split in the 40-yard dash at 1.55 seconds, along with Notre Dames Mitchell Evans.
Vertical Jump
Official Measurement: 39.0"
Rank at Position: 1st of 15 players
The vertical jump is another drill where Ferguson dominated, jumping higher than any other TE in the field at the combine. The second-highest jump was, again, from South Carolina's Joshua Simon at 38.0."
Broad Jump
Official Measurement: 10'2"
Rank at Position: 3rd of 14 players
While Ferguson didn't have the farthest broad jump in the group, 10'2" is nothing to be disappointed by, and he was 3rd among all tight ends.
Nebraska's Thomas Fidone II had the longest jump at 10'6."

Oregon Ducks announce new 'Under Construction' fall camp documentary series for 2025
Back in December of 2024, the Oregon Ducks announced themselves as one of the best teams in the Big Ten Conference, defeating the Penn State Nittany Lions in the conference championship game. A few months before that, though, they let everyone know that they were coming. How? By simply declaring themselves as "That Team Out West." With a fall camp documentary series, the Ducks went viral, stoking some flames in the conference with their videos of behind-the-scenes developments in the program and close looks at the players through fall camp, much like we see every year in the NFL with HBO's Hard Knocks. Oregon announced on Tuesday that it will be running it back, too, this time with a new theme. "2025 Fall Camp: Under Construction" is set to release online this coming Thursday, August 7. The trailer for the series delves into the construction taking place at the Oregon practice facilities this summer as the Ducks build their new 170,000-square-foot indoor practice facility. A year ago, it was notable Oregon alum Ty Burrell who narrated every episode for the Ducks. We will see who they got to do the job this time around, but if the 2024 series is any indication, Oregon fans should be excited for the product that the video team produces later this week and over the next month.

College football's most athletic big man, plus six Coaches Poll takeaways
Until Saturday Newsletter 🏈 | This is The Athletic's college football newsletter. Sign up here to receive Until Saturday directly in your inbox. Today in college football news, it's hoodie season somewhere. You know that special moment each year when you step outside and smell football? Not a football, which you can smell at any time, if you own one. But football itself, the spiritual thing. It smells like whatever kind of grass is smelliest in your area each fall. This week, the internet got a whiff of your area's football grass when Bruce Feldman's 21st annual Freaks List arrived, showcasing college football's 101 current most farfetched athletes. Ohio State's 19-year-old Jeremiah Smith (yes, we're going to keep mentioning his age until he turns 20 on the day the Buckeyes play Michigan) takes the top spot, unseating South Carolina's literal track star, Nyck Harbor, who last year became the list's first-ever repeat No. 1. I asked Bruce how close Harbor came to pulling off a three-peat: 'The top three were pretty close in my mind. Harbor's obviously blazing fast, and 20 pounds heavier and a little taller than Smith (who is stronger, doing 20 reps of 225 and the most dominant player in the country). 'Then there's Alabama OT Kadyn Proctor, who I had a hard time not putting at No. 2. Being that enormous at 6-7, 366 and having super strength is one thing, but to vertical jump 32 inches, which is as high or higher than a bunch of wide receivers at the NFL combine this year, and he broad jumped 9-3. When Chad Johnson was at the combine, he only did 9-0. 'I think I could've had the top three in any order and felt pretty good about it.' Whenever I read these lists, I always focus on the feats accomplished by the hugest individuals, the Dontari Poes and Jordan Davises. And yeah, the 366-pound Proctor's reported 32-inch vert would tie that of 2022 first-rounder Chris Olave (187 pounds), and his 111-inch broad jump would beat that of 2018 first-rounder Calvin Ridley (190 pounds). This man is Thor! Imagine outjumping people half your size! Sure, that's not hard to imagine for me, because people half my size are middle schoolers. But you know what I mean. Actually, now I'm unsure how many middle schoolers I can outjump. Time to line up against some nephews. So much more in the 101-player Freaks List, including the Columbus-based Smith leveling up by surrendering meals at the Columbus-based Wendy's. 🏆 Speaking of annual staples, it's Heisman Draft time. Chris Vannini, last year's selector of Travis Hunter, defends his title against seven of our co-workers. Based only on BetMGM's Heisman odds, Bruce's all-QB group is the favorite, while Stewart Mandel is taking the boldest swings. Full rules, plus rationale for each pick. 💰 One of the many rootin'/tootin' quotes in Sam Khan Jr.'s definitive story on big-spending Texas Tech, which ended up grabbing about twice as many transfers (21) as initially planned: 'After Tech lost to Colorado and mega booster Cody Campbell posted to complain about officiating, a fan replied with an expletive directed at Campbell and ordered him to 'buy us an oline (sic).' 'Campbell's reply: 'I will.'' 📺 Netflix's 'Any Given Saturday' series was up close for some of last season's pivotal SEC moments, such as affirmations by Diego Pavia: 'I know it's Alabama and they got six first-rounders. Well, I'm a first-rounder in my mind. You've gotta be a little psychotic.' 🏀 March Madness won't expand … yet. Yesterday, the 2025 Coaches Poll debuted with No. 1 Texas among the nation-leading nine SEC teams in the full 25. 1. Fun fact! This is Texas' first-ever preseason No. 1 in either the AP or Coaches. Wait, first ever? That's kinda funny, considering all those years of everyone worrying about the media supposedly overrating the Longhorns each season, right? (Texas has started at No. 2 in each poll a bunch of times, most recently 2009.) Advertisement 2. As far as the Coaches Poll is concerned, the season's first full Saturday (Aug. 30) will feature No. 1 Texas at No. 2 Ohio State in a CFP semifinal rematch. We'll wait to see if the more prestigious and authoritative AP Top 25 follows suit next week before we dial up the scoreboard tickers, but this game could be the first-ever Week 1 meeting between the AP's No. 1 and No. 2, though a few have happened in Week 2 before … and Week 1 is kinda Week 2 these days, now that Week 0 exists. 💫 Speaking of Week 0, it'll have an all-ranked matchup (per the Coaches, at least) for the first time since 1983's Nebraska win over Penn State: No. 20 Kansas State vs. No. 21 Iowa State in Dublin's O'Farmageddon. Eighteen days. 3. While we're at it, let's keep treating the Coaches as a preview of the AP. If both polls end up matching, we'd see (per Sports Reference's AP database): 4. The main surprise for me: Oklahoma in the Coaches' unofficial No. 26 spot, down in the Others Receiving Votes shadow realm. Lots of computer ratings project the remodeled Sooners about 10 spots higher, and they're in our list of 11 unranked teams that could make the CFP. 5. Side notes regarding every August's discussions about the existence of preseason rankings: 6. Most importantly, someone gave Buffalo a No. 25 vote. Hey, the reigning Bahamas Bowl champs mostly weathered the portal! This vote might or might not have come from the office of Pete Lembo, Buffalo head coach. Full Coaches Poll here, ICYMI. OK, that's all for today. Email me at untilsaturday@ to tell me your pick for this year's top-10 team that will finish unranked. Last week's most-clicked: How often do top players transfer in this era? Here's the latest data. 📫 Love Until Saturday? Check out The Athletic's other newsletters, too.

Oregon Ducks' week 1 opponent ranked No. 2 in preseason FCS top 25
In just a few short weeks, the Oregon Ducks will soar into battle for their first action of the 2025 season. The upcoming season-long campaign could be their most challenging under head coach Dan Lanning as they attempt to navigate losing a variety of players to the NFL Draft and the transfer portal. Thankfully, the Ducks have also acquired a sizeable group of players to replace the departed talent. The reigning Big Ten champions have a favorable schedule this season, but they will get a nice test in their first game. Oregon will face off against the Montana State Bobcats, who are soaring up the rankings after a wildly impressive 15-1 record last year. They came in at No. 2 on the preseason list of the top 25 FCS teams. It's been an impressive run to respectability for the Bobcats as they land just behind the team that beat them in the FCS Championship Game, the North Dakota State Bison. The Ducks are clearly the better team, but Montana State is no pushover. If Oregon shows up to the game overconfident and underprepared, they could find themselves in an unexpected battle to kick off the season.
