EUGENE — With its 2020 recruiting class, which ranked a Pac-12 leading No. 12, signed Oregon now turns all of its attention to the 2021 cycle.

Oregon will lose 13 scholarship seniors after the 2020 season with several underclassmen, including left tackle Penei Sewell, running back CJ Verdell and safety Jevon Holland, also eligible for the NFL Draft.

Six players are already committed to Oregon’s 2021 recruiting class.

Here is a position-by-position look at what Oregon will need on the recruiting trail for National Signing Day in 2021.

QUARTERBACK

Completing eligibility after 2020 season: n/a

Eligibility remaining after 2020: Tyler Shough, Cale Millen, Jay Butterfield, Robby Ashford

What Oregon needs in 2021: It’s hard not to project the need to sign a quarterback in any given year, but with such a young room entering 2020 it’s also hard to forecast the position much at all. Few if any teams carry five scholarship quarterbacks, so barring a change or loss of personnel it’s difficult to see a glaring need for Oregon. But if for some reason the results aren’t there on the field, it could create a higher level of urgency. Conversely, if Tyler Shough were to be the breakout star of college football, he would be draft eligible even if such moves are historically unwise.

RUNNING BACK

Completing eligibility after 2020 season: n/a

Eligibility remaining after 2020: Travis Dye, Cyrus Habibi-Likio, CJ Verdell, Sean Dollars, Jayvaun Wilson, Trey Benson

What Oregon needs in 2021: CJ Verdell is draft eligible and it’s hard to expect a player who could have three straight 1,000-yard seasons signing up for a fourth. Assuming Verdell is the only departure, that would leave the need for at least one addition and a second, perhaps out of the junior college ranks so as to stagger the scholarships in the room, would not be out of the question.

Projecting out past 2021, when Travis Dye and Cyrus Habibi-Likio would complete their eligibility as well, shows the need for Oregon to have at least one more back on the roster by then. Seven McGee has long been committed.

H-BACK/TIGHT END

Completing eligibility after 2020 season: Cam McCormick, Hunter Kampmoyer

Eligibility remaining after 2020: Spencer Webb, Patrick Herbert, DJ Johnson

What Oregon needs in 2021: After missing on signing a high school player at the position in 2020 the Ducks need to add at least one tight end. Depending how Spencer Webb is utilized in 2020 and how DJ Johnson’s move to offense goes, it could create a greater need for a second, which wouldn’t be unrealistic regardless.

WIDE RECEIVER

Completing eligibility after 2020 season: Johnny Johnson III, Jaylon Redd

Eligibility remaining after 2020: Daewood Davis, Bryan Addison, Isaah Crocker, Josh Delgado, Mycah Pittman, Devon Williams, JR Waters, Lance Wilhoite, Kris Hutson

What Oregon needs in 2021: By far the biggest area of need on offense, Oregon needs to add multiple receivers. Without knowing for sure whether Daewood Davis is spending 2020 on offense or back on defense it’s hard to know how high the projection should be, but even with Davis and Isaah Crocker, who has been exclusively on scout team to date, the Ducks will have just nine scholarship wideouts back in 2021. That’s at least one but closer to three or four below optimal.

Look for Oregon to pursue a true slot, big-bodied X and possibly a JUCO or grad transfer in order to better stagger scholarships and build the room going forward. Kyron Ware-Hudson is already committed.

OFFENSIVE LINE

Completing eligibility after 2020 season: Sam Poutasi

Eligibility remaining after 2020: Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, Alex Forsyth, Steven Jones, Penei Sewell, Ryan Walk (walk-on), Dawson Jaramillo, Christopher Randazzo, Jonah Tauanu’u, TJ Bass, Jonathan Denis, Marcus Harper, Jaylan Jeffers, Faaope Laloulu

What Oregon needs in 2021: Let’s state the obvious: Penei Sewell is going to be projected as a top-five pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. So even with four new starters in 2020, the Ducks have to be prepared to replace their best.

Realistically, Oregon should look at add at least three: one at each tackle, guard and center. A fourth is probable. Any further attrition could create a need for a fifth as optimally the Ducks should be at 15 scholarship O-linemen and they’ll be at 11 without Sewell and Sam Poutasi.

Fortunately, Jackson Light, Josh Simmons and Logan Sagapolu, provided he’s completed his LDS mission, are already committed.

DEFENSIVE LINE

Completing eligibility after 2020 season: Austin Faoliu, Jordon Scott

Eligibility remaining after 2020: Andrew Faoliu, Popo Aumavae, Kayvon Thibodeaux, Brandon Dorlus, Isaac Townsend, Suavaa Poti, Keyon Ware-Hudson, Kristian Williams, Jake Shipley, Bradyn Swinson, Jaden Navarrette, Maceal Afaese, Jayson Jones, Jaylen Smith

What Oregon needs in 2021: The Ducks have overhauled the defensive front in a big way the last two recruiting cycles. So while losing Jordon Scott and Austin Faoliu will hurt in terms of talent, Oregon has the depth on the interior to replace them.

The edges are less proven entering 2020 and is where Oregon needs to focus its attention. At least two additions should be expected at defensive end/Stud end and a third would make sense.

LINEBACKER

Completing eligibility after 2020 season: Dru Mathis, Sampson Niu

Eligibility remaining after 2020: Adrian Jackson, Isaac Slade-Matautia, MJ Cunningham, Ge’mon Eaford, Andrew Johnson Jr., Mase Funa, Treven Ma’ae, Noah Sewell, Justin Flowe, Jackson LaDuke

What Oregon needs in 2021: The 2020 trio of signees solidifies the interior going forward. Adding one inside linebacker and any further turnover would make a second, more likely at strong-side, of greater urgency. Keith Brown has the inside spot locked in.

DEFENSIVE BACK

Completing eligibility after 2020 season: Thomas Graham Jr., Deommodore Lenoir, Brady Breeze, Nick Pickett

Eligibility remaining after 2020: Verone McKinley III, DJ James, Mykael Wright, Jevon Holland, Steven Stephens, Trikweze Bridges, Jamal Hill, Bennett Williams, Jared Greenfield

What Oregon needs in 2021: Oregon will lose nearly all its starting secondary after 2020 but has the pieces in place on the two-deep ready to take over. At least two outside corners and a safety are needed. Anthony Beavers Jr. gives Oregon its safety commit.

SPECIALISTS

Completing eligibility after 2020 season: n/a

Eligibility remaining after 2020: Camden Lewis, Tom Snee, Karsten Battles, Harrison Beattie (walk-on)

What Oregon needs in 2021: Perhaps the hardest group to project due to lack of strong results, Oregon could go any number of ways with specialists. Adding Harrison Beattie as a preferred walk-on at kicker isn’t a huge vote of confidence to Camden Lewis after his erratic freshman season. Tom Snee is coming off having not played and wasn’t a powerful punter in 2018 but could prove himself worthy. If Snee does not, the Ducks need a punter, urgently. With long snapper Karsten Battles entering his senior season in 2021, adding a long snapper who can redshirt would be worthwhile.
