Oregon Ducks tight end Kenyon Sadiq has flown under the national radar in his first two seasons in Eugene, with much of that having to do with the players ahead of him on the depth chart. Those players included the dynamic Terrance Ferguson (the 46th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft) and Patrick Herbert, a trusted veteran blocker.
In his two seasons, Sadiq has flashed the ability that made him a four-star TE in the 2023 class — but hasn't quite made a name for himself.
Those inside the Oregon program, however, are aware of Sadiq's talent. Ducks quarterback Donte Moore , speaking at Oregon's 2025 media day, made a bold claim about his teammate.
"He's the best tight end in the country," Moore said.
Sadiq's talent was flashed in last years Big Ten title game, as he reeled in two touchdowns. Those were the second and third touchdown receptions of his career, along with 29 career catches and 332 receiving yards.
Moore's statement didn't stray too far from the consensus at media day, as several other teammates raved about the combination of Sadiq's size (six-foot-three, 245 pounds) and speed.
Now as the primary pass-catcher at the tight end position for the Ducks heading into 2025, Sadiq looks to be in store for a breakout campaign. If that is to happen, it'd be a surprise to the nation — but not his teammates.
