On3 released their way-too-early All-American team for the 2026 college football season, and two Oregon Ducks made the list: defensive tackle A'Mauri Washington and safety Koi Perich. Washington, a 330-pound force in the middle of the Ducks' defense, is expected to be a high draft pick in 2026 after deciding to return to Eugene for one more season. Perich, a transfer from Minnesota, is a ball-hawk who will look to fill the shoes of former All-American Dillon Thieneman in Oregon's secondary.

Why it matters

The inclusion of Washington and Perich on this preseason All-American team is a testament to the talent and potential of the Oregon Ducks' roster heading into the 2026 season. As the Ducks look to build on their success in recent years, having two players recognized as among the best in the country at their respective positions will be a major boost.

The details

Washington, a 6-foot-3, 330-pound defensive tackle, was a consistent presence in the middle of Oregon's defense in 2025, totaling 33 tackles and 1.5 sacks. His ability to disrupt the passing game was also on display, as he tied for the team lead with seven pass deflections. Perich, a safety who transferred from Minnesota, is expected to fill the void left by the departure of All-American Dillon Thieneman. Perich was a ball-hawk at Minnesota, recording six interceptions over his first two seasons, and he'll look to bring that same playmaking ability to Oregon's defense.
