Oregon’s rising junior QB with size, mobility, and upside
Ryder Hayes is a 6-foot-2, 202-pound junior quarterback at Oregon who brings a strong frame and clear developmental upside, but public stat lines are still thin, so the real story is projection, not production. His profile suggests a player the Ducks believe can grow into a more complete quarterback, with enough physical tools to fit a modern offense and enough program pedigree to stay in the mix. If you want a polished, proven starter, he’s not there yet; if you want a high-upside arm with room to climb, he’s worth watching.
