Oregon Predicted to Land Highly Touted Defensive Back, Former Florida Commit
Oregon Predicted to Land Highly Touted Defensive Back, Former Florida Commit originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Oregon Ducks have been busy on the recruiting trail, hoping to make the upcoming seasons as magical as this past season. Some weren't sure how the Ducks would fare their first year in the Big Ten, but it was clear early on the Ducks weren't phased. Advertisement They finished the regular season with an undefeated record and defeated the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Big Ten Championship game. The College Football Playoff committee awarded them the No. 1 overall seed and a first-round bye. Oregon predicted to land highly touted defensive back, former Gators commit The long layoff proved to do more harm than good, as the Ohio State Buckeyes went into Pasadena having defeated the Tennessee Volunteers in the first round. The Buckeyes proved to be too much this time around, as the Ducks fell in the rematch. The Ducks' success continued into the NFL Draft, where they saw a program-record 10 players selected, surpassing the previous record of eight set the year before. Advertisement That bodes well for Ducks head coach Dan Lanning on the recruiting trail. Not only are you, as a recruit, likely to be on a winning team in Eugene, but there's also a good chance they turn pro. In a recent piece by national recruiting website On3's Steve Wiltfong, he predicts that the Ducks will land safety Devin Jackson, who had previously committed to the Florida Gators before decommitting in April. Jackson is a 6-foot-2, 195 lb safety from The First Academy in Orlando, Florida. According to Max Torres of Jackson is ranked No. 133 in the On300 rankings, the No. 14 safety and No. 19 ranked player in the state of Florida. On Saturday, Jackson announced that he would be choosing among the Ducks, LSU, Miami, Nebraska and Florida. The Ducks offered Jackson in January. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 30, 2025, where it first appeared.

Virginia Tech Football Preview 2025: Hokies Season Prediction, Win Total Projection, Top Players
Virginia Tech Hokies Key to the Season Block did this already in the offensive section, but it really is Hokies struggled way too much to consistently get the passing game going, the third-down conversions weren't there, and the time of possession battle wasn't a plus. That all came from the problems with pass protection and tackles for loss allowed. So ... X CFN, Fiu | CFN Facebook | Bluesky Fiu, CFN2025 Virginia Tech PreviewVirginia Tech Offense BreakdownVirginia Tech Defense Breakdown Virginia Tech Hokies Key Player Lucas Austin, OT someone to dominate at a tackle spot. Xavier Chaplin was one of the top players in the transfer portal - more on that in a moment - and he needs to be replaced at left tackle. It'll take fall camp to figure it out, but if Austin plays like he's supposed to after coming over from West Virginia, this becomes a far easier puzzle to put together, helped by ... Virginia Tech Hokies Top Transfer, Biggest Transfer Loss Top Transfer In: Thomas Rimac, OG be way too basic about it, Virginia Tech horked a slew of good West Virginia linemen who took off rather than be a part of the Rich Rodriguez offensive style. Also, the Hokies had an offensive line that needed fixing. The 6-6, 317-pound Rimac is a two-time All-Big 12 Honorable Mention guard who'll step right Transfer Out: Xavier Chaplin, OT was sort of an odd thing. The Virginia Tech pass protection wasn't good, the running game wasn't strong enough, but the line had a few star talents to work around. The 6-7, 338-pound Chaplin was an all-star at left tackle with the NFL size and skills. Now he'll be a key part of the Auburn offense. Virginia Tech Hokies Key Game at North Carolina State, Sept. 27Virginia Tech beat NC State 11-6 early in the 1902 season, and overall, it's been able to take its share of wins, but the Wolfpack have won the last two in 2022 and 2023. This year it's the ACC opener, and with nasty road games ahead against Georgia Tech and Florida State, picking off an away date right away is a must.- 2025 Virginia Tech Schedule Breakdown Virginia Tech Hokies Top 10 Players 1.

It's not right in any way that the Wolfpack don't play North Caroline, but that's for another time. The Hokies also miss the Notre Dame part-time ACC thing, if Florida State and NC State play like they did last season, the road games are a relative breeze with three of the four in the ACC against teams that finished with losing records, and the other against Georgia Tech. But NC State will be better, and so will Florida State. However, the Hokies only leave Virginia once after October 11th, the opener against South Carolina is in Atlanta, the Vanderbilt game is at home, and there isn't any one date on the slate that's a 100% sure-thing no-chance least for now, though, there are too many 50/50 games that lean loss.
