True freshmen Immanuel Iheanacho and Tommy Tofi are entering the Oregon Ducks' offensive line with the size, conditioning and work ethic that could reshape the unit's dynamics.

The Ducks, riding a No. 2 Coaches Poll ranking and returning 15 starters, outline five key focus areas — from offensive line overhaul to defensive disruption — that could deliver a 12‑0 season and deeper postseason runs.

The University of Oregon football team opened preseason camp on August 10 on its brand‑new outdoor turf, with a schedule that skips Thursdays and Sundays and a focus on diverse drills, mentorship and early standout performances from freshmen.

Gecova Doyal, a 6‑3, 270‑pound offensive tackle from Puyallup, Washington, toured Eugene recently, lauding Coach Dan Lanning and assistant A’lique Terry. With a decision slated for July 1, his commitment could shape Oregon’s already elite 2027 recruiting class.
