How former Oregon Ducks performed in Week 4 of the 2025 college football season

Each week, several Oregon Duck transfers have stood out across the country; find out who performed well in Week 4.

At this point, it shouldn't be much of a surprise to see the Oregon Ducks use a litany of players to carry the ball and catch passes. It's becoming a normal thing for head coach Dan Lanning's squad — something that certainly doesn't happen across the country.

Case in point: a number of former Ducks are serving in crucial roles in college football programs across the country. Standout performances by former players have occurred frequently this season, with seemingly a new headliner each week.

Cal quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele stood out in Week 1, as he thrashed an Oregon State secondary and jumped onto the scene as a true freshman. Baylor's Emar'rion Winston has been a constant fixture in the Bears' pass rush, notching two sacks through four games. Defensive back Cole Martin was one of UCLA's leading tacklers last week despite their disappointing loss to New Mexico.

Amid UCLA's bye week, a squad that features several former Ducks, find out which former Oregon players performed the best around the country in Week 4.
