Depth has been a key phrase uttered around the 2025 edition of the Oregon Ducks, as the team has been hit with a wave of injuries offensively and had a number of players step up in big roles.

Just this week against the Washington Huskies, wide receiver Malik Benson, a transfer from Florida State, notched his first 100-yard game with the Ducks on five catches including a game-sealing 64-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Reserve wideout Jeremiah McClellan also contributed heavily, catching three passes for 78 yards. It didn't end there, as backup tight end Jamari Johnson caught three passes for 60 yards, outshining starter Kenyon Sadiq who commanded much attention from the Huskies' defense.

It all led to a 26-14 victory over Washington and Oregon punching its ticket to the College Football Playoff, where a home playoff game is within their sights.

While depth has fueled this Ducks squad, a number of former Oregon players stood out around the country in Week 14 — further revealing the deep nature of not only this 2025 roster, but rosters in years past.

Let's take a look at how former Ducks performed across the country this week in college football.
