The Oregon Ducks are loaded at key positions in the 2025 recruiting class, one of the deepest since Oregon coach Dan Lanning has ever had in Eugene. With one more season before the recruits officially become Ducks, they have been impressing on Friday nights.

His ability to create separation as a route runner is second to none in the class. Moore committed to the Ducks on July 4 this summer.

Moore's supreme athleticism allows him to play against even some of the best in the country at defensive back. The No. 5 player in the class of 2025 according to 247Sports, Moore is up to 13 catches, 162 yards and a touchdown in his senior year.

Smith Jr. displayed some nice touch on throws during the loss against a talented JSerra secondary.

According to Greg Biggins of 247Sports, his ability to thread the needle with accuracy is one of the reasons Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein took his commitment.

"He has very good deep ball accuracy, can change speeds and understands when to put more touch on a throw and when he needs to use a little more gas," Biggins wrote.

Smith Jr. isn't known for his legs, but he was able to add 50 yards on the ground on five carries as he showed off his moves outside the pocket.

Hill has a nice knack for catching the ball out of the backfield for the Crusaders. His five-foot-eleven, 180 pound frame gives him unique track speed and allows him to break tackles with ease. Hill also plays defense for Althoff Catholic, but projects to play running back when he gets to Eugene.
