After the scrimmage yesterday Dan Lanning said linebacker Devon Jackson was a full participant, the 6-2, 235 redshirt junior from Omaha, Nebraska who started one game in 2024.
The Ducks need Jackson or one of his position mates to have a breakout year this season. They're a starting linebacker short after sending Jeffrey Bassa to the NFL. Even with Bassa, last year's defense ranked 38th in the nation against the run in last year's conference championship year, giving up 181 yards or more four different times, including 292 and two touchdowns to Penn State, 181 and two scores to Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.
