Oregon Ducks Will Be Well-Represented at 2026 NFL Combine cover image

The Oregon Ducks will be well-represented at the 2026 NFL Combine by a slew of former standout playmakers.

With the 2025-26 NFL season in the books, all eyes will now be on the 2026 NFL Draft, as Oregon Duck fans will be excited to see the program’s star playmakers find new homes at the professional level.

However, before the big day in April, NFL personnel will get a chance to look at head coach Dan Lanning’s former standouts during the 2026 NFL Combine. And on Wednesday afternoon, the NFL officially released the list of players that have received an invite to the highly-anticipated event.

Here are the nine Oregon players who have received an invite to the 2026 NFL Combine:

Noah Whittington, RB

Malik Benson, WR

Kenyon Sadiq, TE

Alex Harkey, OL

Emmanuel Pregnon, OL

Isaiah World, OL

Bryce Boettcher, LB

Jadon Canady, CB

Dillon Thieneman, SAF

Who Should Oregon Fans Watch?

Out of all the players entering the upcoming draft from Oregon, it’s clear that all eyes will be on star tight end Kenyon Sadiq.

The highly-touted pass catcher is coming off an impressive season with the Ducks, as he recorded 560 receiving yards and eight touchdowns in 14 games played in 2025. Sadiq is the consensus No. 1 player at his position leading up to the draft, and could easily boost his stock during the combine.

Another name to watch for is safety Dillon Thieneman, who has quickly become one of the hottest prospects in the 2026 class. Thieneman, in his one season with the program, finished the year with 96 tackles, five pass deflections, and two interceptions. If the talented defensive back has a terrific combine, there is a good chance that he could find himself in first-round conversations.

While Sadiq and Thieneman are the two best players from Oregon in this year’s draft cycle, the program will also have its fair share of offensive linemen in the mix. Emmanuel Pregnon, Alex Harkey, and Isaiah World were impact linemen for the Ducks this past season and could easily find a role at the NFL level in the near future.

One name that has seen his draft stock soar over the past couple of weeks is cornerback Jadon Canady after his impressive efforts at the 2026 East-West Shrine Bowl. A huge performance at the 2026 NFL Combine could help dramatically improve his draft stock.
