The defensive line has absolutely turned into a strength for the Oregon Ducks in the past decade. With DeForest Buckner, Arik Armstead, Dion Jordan and Kayvon Thibodeaux, Eugene has been a breeding ground for NFL talent. Even this season, the Ducks are expecting DJ Johnson and Brandon Dorlus to step up and wreak havoc in the trenches.
Going forward, it doesn’t look like anything will change either. The Ducks are favored to land four-star defensive lineman A’mauri Washington, one of the top players in the state of Arizona. Washington, who ranks No. 37 among defensive linemen and No. 162 overall in the 2023 class is set to announce his commitment on Sept. 6. He is down to four schools; the Ducks are listed alongside Florida, Oklahoma and LSU.
Washington has one crystal ball prediction on 247Sports, and it’s in favor of the Ducks.
