The Oregon Ducks saw a ton of new players join the team earlier this month for the start of spring football, and when practice resumes next week following spring break, more players will be in attendance.

It appears that true freshman cornerback Brandon Finney Jr. is one of the players jumping in after the break. He missed the first two practices because of school scheduling. According to a photo on his Instagram Story, Finney is in Eugene and was working at the Moshofky Center over the weekend.

Finney is one of the top-ranked players in Oregon’s 2025 class, rated as the No. 40 overall player in the nation, and the No. 6 cornerback. Finney is the fourth-highest-rated player in the Ducks’ class, behind 5-star WR Dakorien Moore, 5-star CB Na’eem Offord, and 5-star S Trey McNutt. Standing at 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, Finney is a big-bodied CB who the Ducks hope can contribute early on in his Oregon tenure.

The cornerback room in Eugene is full of talent this year, but there are questions about who will step up and fill the starting spots. At the moment, Jahlil Florence is the only CB on the roster with starting experience for the Ducks. Still, guys like Theran Johnson, Ify Obidegwu, Rodrick Pleasant, Sione Laulea, and Dakoda Fields will all work to move up the depth chart. You also have incoming freshmen like Finney, Offord, and Brew, all of whom can work their way into the rotation starting this spring.

One of the other defensive backs that Oregon added this offseason is Ole Miss transfer Jadon Canady, who also arrived for spring football over the weekend. Canady played primarily in the STAR/nickel position with the Rebels in 2024, with 38 tackles, including 21 solo, and 11 passes defended. He was named to the All-SEC second team by the College Football Network.

According to social media, it also appears that 4-star running back Dierre Hill also showed up in Eugene over the weekend. Hill is rated as the No. 149 overall player in the class, and the No. 8 RB. He will join fellow 4-star RB Jordon Davison as the new guard in the backfield this year.
