Jared Ebert brought power and polish to Oregon’s defensive front
In the 2011 season, Jared Ebert arrived at Oregon as a highly regarded junior-college defensive lineman, with recruiting outlets noting he was a four-star JUCO prospect and No. 16 junior-college recruit after posting 41 tackles, 7.5 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks in 2010. His appeal was obvious: a long 6-5 frame, proven disruption, and a ready-made interior presence. For a team that values disruptive, rotation-ready linemen, he looked like a strong fit—more physical tone-setter than raw project, with enough production to suggest he could help fast.
