One of the biggest topics of conversation for the Oregon Ducks over the past month or so has been personnel — who's leaving, who's staying, and who is coming in?
We've seen a long list of top-ranked players join the team via high school recruiting and the transfer portal , and several others have declared for the 2025 NFL draft over the past month as well. There are still a couple of players on the roster who have a decision to make when it comes to the NFL draft, though, and we're waiting for those decisions to be made public.

Well, if you're one to pause an offseason training video to break down which players are there or not, then you might have picked up one some big-time names in attendance.
The Ducks posted a video of their offseason workouts on Monday, detailing the mantra for the team and how to get better this year. In that video were running back Noah Whittington, wide receiver Gary Bryant Jr. , and safety Kobe Savage , all sitting front-row in a meeting led by strength coach Wilson Love.
Does this mean that all of those players are indeed taking their name out of NFL draft contention and returning to Eugene for one more season? Not definitively, but it certainly points to that being the likely case.
Whittington's return would be a big one for the Ducks, as they bring in Tulane RB transfer Makhi Hughes from the portal and look to have one of the most talented RB duos in the nation. Likewise, Savage would help bring a lot of veteran experience to the secondary, using his final year of eligibility granted by the NCAA for former junior college players.

In 2024, Bryant Jr. spent much of the year out with an injury, so he could be a valuable and experienced piece out wide, as well as in the punt return game should he come back as well.
We will still await official word from any of these guys, but with the deadline coming up for them to stay in the draft or not, it shouldn't be long until we know for sure about their status for 2025.
