How former Oregon Ducks performed in Week 11 of the 2025 college football season

It took immense effort from everyone on the Oregon Ducks‘ traveling roster to come away with an 18-16 victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes on Saturday afternoon at Kinnick Stadium. Facing injuries to wide receiver Dakorien Moore, tight end Kenyon Sadiq and right tackle Alex Harkey, while wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr. was also injured early, head coach Dan Lanning‘s squad showcased their depth and resiliency in toughing out a much-needed victory.

Backup tight end Jamari Johnson — a Louisville transfer — led the team with four catches for 36 yards. Little used wide receivers Cooper Perry and Justius Lowe also recorded catches, helping step up in the absence of three starting pass catchers.

The depth of the roster was tested, and they responded.

Around the country, several former depth pieces for the Ducks had standout days. Stuck on the bench and not receiving as much play time as they would like, they departed for more action elsewhere.

Let’s take a look at how former Ducks performed around the country in Week 11.
