Oregon to hire Syracuse’s Ross Douglas as receivers coach


Oregon appears to have found its next wide receivers coach.

Ross Douglas, who spent the past season as the receivers coach and pass game coordinator at Syracuse, is expected to join UO’s staff, according to 247Sports.

Syracuse, which added Ohio State quarterback transfer Kyle McCord last winter, led the country in passing yards in 2024 and ranked sixth in passing touchdowns and 25th in passing efficiency.

The Orange lost two of its top three receivers from 2023 and had three players with over 900 receiving yards in Douglas’ lone season, including Georgia transfer Jackson Meeks (1,021 yards, seven touchdowns). Fifth-year junior Trebor Pena had by far the best season of his career and sophomore Darrell Gill Jr. had a breakout year.

Douglas, 30, spent three seasons on the New England Patriots coaching staff before going to Syracuse, with prior stints at Richmond and Rutgers.

He replaces Junior Adams, who left UO for the same position with the Dallas Cowboys.

Douglas began with the Patriots as a defensive assistant in2021 and was promoted to receivers coach in 2022, becoming the youngest position coach in the NFL at that time.

A former defensive back at Michigan (2013-15) and Rutgers (16-17), Douglas began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Rutgers from 2018-20, working primarily with the secondary.

5-star OL Ismael Camara nears decision, Oregon staying in touch

5-star OL Ismael Camara nears decision, Oregon staying in touch


Every year, there are always a few recruiting races that are anything but normal. Twists and turns should be expected on the recruiting trail, but you can still always count on a surprise or two.

The Oregon Ducks have already landed four commitments along the offensive line in the 2027 recruiting cycle, most recently scoring three-star Lex Mailangi. The Ducks are still pushing for one more, however, and it’s the biggest of them all.

Five-star offensive lineman Ismael Camara has taken several visits to Eugene, including one earlier in the spring. However, the Texas star canceled his tour of official visits to finish high school early and give Gilmer High School his best effort on the field in the fall.

Those plans changed quickly when he opted to take unofficial visits to SMU and Texas in June. After once appearing to push his recruitment to the fall and commit closer to early signing day, it’s clear that Camara is now open for business, and he could be moving quickly toward a decision.

When Camara left Eugene in the spring, the Ducks were perceived as a favorite in the race. However, after spending time away and connecting with programs in his home state of Texas, Rivals’ Sam Spiegelman believes Texas is now in the lead, and was told by one of Camara’s family members that a commitment could be coming soon.

While the Longhorns are in charge, SMU, LSU, Texas A&M and Oregon all still remain involved. While he has been able to tour the Texas programs this month, Camara has remained in touch with the Ducks over FaceTime.

“Just fantastic coaches and options all around,” Camara’s guardian, Todd Robison, told Rivals. “We are also in touch regularly with Tennessee, LSU, A&M, and Alabama. He also has had very well-attended FaceTime calls with the entire staff at Oregon. He feels the love for sure.”

The Ducks still appear to be in good standing with Camara, but the inability to get him on campus this month is a big setback. Even if Camara does commit over the summer, the Ducks will likely push hard to get him back to Eugene in the fall for another visit. Don’t expect Oregon to give up on this race until pen hits paper on signing day.
