Overview

  • Trey McNutt suffered a broken right leg during fall camp, according to On3 Sports reporter Pete Nakos.
  • Reports diverge on his return, with Newsweek calling the injury season-ending and ClutchPoints noting no definitive timetable for his comeback.
  • The loss sidelines a Rivals five-star safety who was projected to compete for immediate playing time and deprives the Ducks of key secondary depth.
  • Oregon’s offseason addition of former Purdue safety Dillon Thieneman is poised to help fill the gap left by McNutt’s absence.
  • The Ducks must firm up their depth chart before hosting Montana State in their 2025 season opener on August 30.
