Oregon Freshman Tristan Phillips Reveals Jersey Number
Oregon Ducks freshman linebacker Tristan Phillips revealed that he will be wearing No. 25 with a social media post of his locker and the jersey number.
Tristan Phillips to Wear No. 25
The jersey No. 25 was worn by two Oregon players during the 2025 season: freshman kicker Rocco Graziano and redshirt senior defensive back Kilohana Haasenritter. With Haasenritter out of eligibility, the number became available for anyone on defense.
How much Phillips sees the field as a true freshman remains to be seen. The Ducks’ linebacker corps is expected to be led by Devon Jackson and Jerry Mixon with an opportunity for younger linebackers like Brayden Platt, Dylan Williams, and Gavin Nix to take the next step.
Oregon has not often thrown young linebackers into the starting defense, but Ducks coach Dan Lanning has consistently proclaimed, “If you’re good enough, you’re old enough.” While Phillips might not see the field right away, that scenario gives the young linebacker time to develop and learn the defense. More than likely, Phillips will be a rotational piece and could see action later in games if the Ducks hold a lead.
Phillips enters the Oregon program as a rather underrated recruit, rated as a three-star prospect by the Rivals’ Industry Ranking. Per 247Sports, though, Phillips was a four-star linebacker and the No. 26-ranked recruit out of California.
Alongside Phillips, the Ducks signed one other linebacker recruit in the class of 2026, four-star prospect Braylon Hodge our of Cherry Creek in Colorado.

What Chris Hampton Said About Tristan Phillips
During a National Signing Day special, Oregon defensive coordinator Chris Hampton spoke briefly about all of the defensive recruits in the Ducks’ class. What he said about Phillips in particular should excite Ducks fans about Oregon’s newest linebacker:
“Tristan Phillips, this guy’s Bryce Boettcher 2.0 He will he will tattoo you,” said Hampton. “He was the leader of our class, I would say, recruiting a bunch of guys, helped get guys in the boat. He’s been a Duck through and through from Ventura, California. He’s a great kid. He’s about 220 pounds right now. He’s gonna be a 230, 235-pound linebacker that will knock you backwards.”
“Size, speed, he’s got a great combination, and he’s got a great disposition about him when you talk to him,” Hampton continued to rave about Phillips.
If Phillips can match the production of Boettcher, the Ducks should be set at the linebacker position for years to come. A former walk-on safety, Boettcher totaled 136 tackles in his senior season, following a junior season with 94 total tackles. Perhaps more importantly, Boettcher emerged as one of the leaders of the Oregon defense under Lanning.
Boettcher has already been selected by the Houston Astros in the MLB Draft, but he could also be taken by an NFL team in April’s draft.
PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — The Oregon Department of Forestry is asking Oregonians to be careful when disposing of yard debris this spring.

“There have already been 23 escaped debris burns for a total of 83 acres reported on ODF-protected land in 2026,” the agency said.
The agency said that at this time last year, it had responded to 37 escaped burns.
“More than 70% of wildfires every year in Oregon are human-caused, with escaped debris burns topping the list,” ODF said. “With record-low snowpack and an abnormally warm winter, forecasters are anticipating a hotter and drier summer than usual.”
The Central Oregon District of ODF has already declared the start of fire season.
On May 14, fire restrictions will go into effect for all Bureau of Land Management lands in Oregon and Washington.
“We are increasingly concerned that 2026 could rival the most extreme years on record for heat and dryness in the Pacific Northwest,” said Jeff Fedrizzi, assistant chief of operations for the Pacific Northwest, U.S. Wildland Fire Service. “Every visitor must understand that even one small spark can lead to a costly and destructive fire in these high-impact conditions.”
Officials say the restrictions will help reduce the risk of human-caused fires. BLM officials say anyone who violates the prohibition could be fined up to $100,000 and/or face up to 12 months in prison.
More information on fire season is available on the ODF website.
The Bureau of Land Management website has additional information on fire restrictions and closures.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Oregon DMV issued a warning for drivers, saying scammers are still sending out fake text messages trying to steal money from people.
State DMV officials say it is part of a nationwide scam that’s been happening for nearly two years.
The fake text messages often come from international phone numbers or non-government email addresses.
In the messages, the scammers threaten to suspend car registration or driving privileges if a person doesn’t pay.
If you get this message, the DMV asks that you don’t click on any links or respond. Simply report it to the Federal Trade Commission or delete it.
