One of those players is Oregon linebacker Nasir Wyatt, who returns to the Ducks looking to take a step forward as a three-down player on defense. Oregon outside linebacker Nasir Wyatt celebrates a sack as the Oregon Ducks take on the Washington Huskies on Nov. 29, 2025, at Husky Stadium in Seattle, Washington. One of those key pieces is Ducks linebacker Teitum Tuioti, who returns as the group's veteran. In addition to playing outside linebacker, Tuioti also has experience as a defensive end, and Hampton could choose to play him at either position next season. Throughout their careers with the Ducks, Jackson and Mixon have combined for 171 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, and one forced fumble.
