Although the last official signing period for the 2025 college football season arrives on February 5.This should go off without incident for a Oregon football team who did most of his work in the fall and early signing period in December.
THE Ducks signed all but one of their 21 committed recruits during the early signing period and have been active in the transfer portal to fill needs ahead of the 2025 season with nine commitments in the portal.
However, two of those signees have already left the Oregon football program, four-star quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele and five-star wide receiver Dallas Wilson.
Sagapolutele, who flipped his signing day commitment from Cal in surprising fashion on Dec. 4, signed with the Ducks and enrolled early to practice with the Ducks before the Rose Bowl. Shortly after the Ducks’ loss, Sagapolutele entered the transfer portal and committed to Cal, saying he didn’t feel like “a major priority” in Oregon.
Wilson, signed with the Ducks but requested a release from his financial aid agreement shortly after signing with Florida. Wilson reportedly sought to move closer to his home in Tampa, Florida due to the health of a family member.
This brought Oregon’s 2025 class to 20 with one player yet to sign. Here’s a look at this class and the needs the Ducks have already addressed heading into this fall.
Who has already signed up for Oregon football’s 2025 recruiting class?
Twelve recruits from Oregon’s 2025 class had chairs labeled with their names at Southern California’s workouts before the Rose Bowl, meaning they signed up early to participate in Rose Bowl workouts, including the former signatory Sagapolutele.
