The 2025 Oregon football team has arguably been the best in the country this season. The Oregon Ducks made a significant splash in the transfer portal last offseason after they acquired Makhi Hughes from Tulane. When talking to the media on Wednesday, Lanning said Hughes asked for a redshirt, and Oregon honored that request. Freshman Jordon Davison has also been a significant standout thanks to a team-high seven rushing touchdowns. Lanning did not reveal exactly what Hughes plans to do with the redshirt after he made the decision.
