Jerry Mixon is emerging as a playmaking, coverage-first linebacker for Oregon
Mixon has built his value on range, ball production, and steady growth, flashing in 2025 with 57 tackles, 7 pass breakups, 2 interceptions, and a strong 83.4 PFF coverage grade for Oregon. He is especially appealing for teams that want a linebacker who can stay on the field in space and create turnovers, not just fill gaps, though his run-defense and tackling grades suggest he is still rounding out his game. After limited early college usage, his jump in snaps and production points to a player whose best football is still ahead of him.
