Dan Lanning Sheds Light On NFL Draft Success

The Oregon Ducks have had more and more players drafted to the NFL every year of the coach Dan Lanning era. As the Duck pipeline to the pros grows, as does the confidence around the country that Oregon develops NFL-ready athletes.

In the 2025 NFL Draft, many mock drafts have as many anywhere from 9 to 12 Ducks drafted, which would break the program record. What does the potentially-historical draft say about the direction of the Oregon program?

“We’re building something and we’re getting better and better each year. It speaks to our players, the work that they put in,” Lanning told Oregon Ducks on SI reporter Bri Amaranthus. “And then the aspirations, every guy dreams of getting the opportunity to play in the NFL. But I think it says if you come to Oregon, you got a real shot at doing it.” 

The first season Lanning took over, Oregon sent six players to the NFL including 2023 first round selection cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who is dominating with the New England Patriots.

In the 2024 NFL Draft, Oregon set a program record of the most Ducks drafted with eight. Former Ducks quarterback Bo Nix was selected No. 12 overall to the Denver Broncos and shattered expectations by becoming an NFL offensive rookie of the year candidate.

The 2025 NFL Draft could shatter that record, further cementing Lanning’s impact on the program and undoubtedly helping recruiting efforts in getting top high school and transfer talent to Eugene.

Last year, Lanning traveled to Alabama to be with Nix on night one of the 2024 NFL Draft. He celebrated with Nix and his family as he got the call from Denver coach Sean Payton.

Is Lanning planning on traveling to be with former players for 2025 NFL Draft?

“We’ll still be practicing. But there might be an opportunity to be able to slip away to one of our players that night if there’s an opportunity,” Lanning told Amaranthus.

The 2025 NFL Draft takes place from Thursday, April 24- Saturday, April 26. With the Oregon spring game on Saturday, it could be a tall task to travel during the final days of the Ducks’ spring practices.

However, there are two Ducks who have been projected as first round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft – Former Oregon defensive lineman Derrick Harmon and offensive lineman Josh Conerly Jr.

Harmon has taken top-30 visits to the Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings. In Mel Kiper’s most recent mock draft, Harmon is drafted by the Steelers with the No. 20 overall pick and Conerly Jr. is drafted to the Houston Texans with the No. 25 overall selection.

A Missouri native, Lanning is a Kansas City Chiefs fan and smiles as talks about his team.

“I’m always hoping that a couple of our guys might end up on the Chiefs,” Lanning told Amaranthus.

Lanning success in sending players to the league didn’t start in Eugene. Since the 2021 NFL Draft, an impressive 28 players he’s coached have been drafted. Lanning gives all the credit to his players.

“It’s a great feeling, right? But again, I didn’t do any of that work,” Lanning told Amaranthus. “They did that work. So a lot of times capturing a goal and realizing a dream is really based on making sure that you put people in position to be able to do that and take advantage of what’s in front of them and then they have to be motivated.”

Oregon’s NFL Draft hopefuls include Harmon, Conerly Jr., quarterback Dillon Gabriel, running back Jordan James, wide receivers Traeshon Holden and Tez Johnson, tight end Terrance Ferguson, offensive lineman Ajani Cornelius, defensive linemen Jamaree Caldwell and Jordan Burch, linebacker Jeffrey Bassa, and cornerback Jabbar Muhammad. 

Lanning made it clear his pride in former Ducks goes beyond the NFL.

“The big picture dream, some of these guys want to go play in the NFL, but just as important is what’s their career look like after the ball goes flat? What do they do after those moments? And I’m going to be just as proud as some of the guys that leave here with a degree and what they’re able to do with their degree when they leave Oregon as a guy that goes on with the NFL,” Lanning told Amaranthus.

It was Patriots Day at the pool at Libertyville Saturday.

Stevenson’s girls water polo team remained unbeaten by holding off a furious fourth quarter rally to beat Libertyville 8-6 to win the girls sectional title.

Right after, the Stevenson boys water polo team scored on its first three possessions and then never looked back as the Patriots, led by Armeet Gill’s triple hat trick, swam past Libertyville 16-10 to win the boys sectional title.

The Stevenson girls team will be seeking their third consecutive title at the state finals which begin next Thursday at Stevenson. The Patriots (33-0) will meet Evanston, who Stevenson beat in last year’s title game, in the quarterfinals at 4:30 p.m. Thursday.

Stevenson was without top goal scorer Olivia Speth, who was in California at the U.S. National team tryout. Girls head coach Jeff Wimer knew about the tryout months ago and has been planning accordingly.

“They stepped up, and that is without Olivia (Speth),” Wimer said. “I told our girls that they are a team. And it is a lot more than one player, it is all of you. We have been playing in situations without Olivia this season and they were ready for it.”

The Patriots showed how prepared they were when Dhanani Seneviratne scored twice for a 2-0 lead early in the second period. Libertyville’s Maya Anderson tallied and Jillian Carlson followed up with a goal for Stevenson as the Patriots let 3-1 at the half.

Carlson and teammate Caroline Bichkoff scored within 25 seconds of each other in the final minute of the third period. That, along with sterling goalkeeping by Elsa Kusevskis, gave Stevenson what appeared to be an insurmountable 5-1 lead.

Libertyville (22-4), which had lost 5-4 earlier this season to Stevenson, had other ideas as the final period was all gas and no brakes.

Kaitlyn Galloway and Anderson each scored in the opening minute of the final quarter to cut the lead to 5-3. Stevenson came back to score on Arohi Mathur’s tally, but Libertyville answered again on another goal by Galloway to make it 6-4.

After a goal by Bichkoff, Libertyville’s Ciara Simpson scored a pair of the goals within 20 seconds of each other. The second was a penalty shot with 1:30 to play and suddenly the Wildcats trailed by just one at 7-6.

Stevenson got some breathing room when Raina Dastagir scored at 1:06 to make it 8-6. Libertyville had a chance to get closer, but Kusevskis turned away a penalty shot with 37.8 seconds left to preserve the win.

“I was really proud of my play, especially in the first half,” said Kusevskis, who had 15 saves, 6 steals and an assist.

“My team did really well. I was happy with my blocks and I saved a 5-meter (penalty shot) and that was nice.”

Carlson, who also had 6 steals and an assist to go with her goal, said that it was a complete team effort in the victory.

“We could not have done this without playing as a team,” Carlson said. “Together we played not as individuals and our offense was looking to score.”

Libertyville coach Tracy Balla said that her team never quit.

“This is a team that has dug deep all season never given up,” Balla said. “They communicate so well. And they play their best when they feel pressure and they felt the pressure today.”

Boys final: The Stevenson boys team had very little drama in their convincing victory. The Patriots tallied on four of their first five possessions on their way to an 8-1 lead. Gill had four of his career-high 9 goals during that span.

“I was just in the flow and excited to play,” said Gill, who is a junior and moved from attack to center.

“This is a testament to the work I have put in this season. I played out of position because on an injury. So I had to step up and fill a role.”

The Patriots, who finished second in the state the past two seasons, advance to the state finals for the fifth consecutive year. The Patriots (22-10) will play York in the quarterfinals at 7 p.m. Friday.

“We are still a young team,” Stevenson coach Sean Wimer said. “But we are also an explosive team. When we are focused and ready to go, the sky is the limit. Armeet (Gill) was really fun to watch.”

Kenny Weisner and Wes Linnenburger each scored twice for the Patriots. Adesh Arvind, Levi Schnulle and Hudson Swanson also scored for Stevenson.

Ted Stouffer and Will Kopecky each scored goals for Libertyville (17-11). Nate Stouffer added a pair of goals.

“We knew that Stevenson is a talented team and they play a fast-paced game,” Libertyville coach Kara Glerman said. “I am proud of the way we played in the second half. I thought we played a pretty even game there.”

The Naperville North boys water polo sectional hits the final four as Waubonsie Valley takes on Naperville Central. These two teams split in their respective matchups this season, but this one is for a trip to the sectional final. This highlight is sponsored by BMO.

The Redhawks start the game strong as James Behrend fires in a shot to put his squad up 2-0 early on.

Ben Meier puts on an early show on his birthday

The Warriors regroup with Ben Meier, who hits the right corner to even the game at 2-2.

Meier is not done yet because he wants another goal. Adam Matusiak finds him, and he connects on the long-distance shot, giving the Warriors a 3-2 lead.

The Meier show is on full display during the first. This penalty shot caps off a 6-0 run as Waubonsie opens up a 6-2 advantage.

Central stops the run in the second quarter when Behrend gets his name called once again with a catch-and-shoot goal.

The Warriors adjust on defense, and goalie Lukas Adeli jumps into position to make the save. Waubonsie holds an 8-5 lead at the break.

Waubonsie picks it back up in the second half with Youseff El Touny showing the skipper for a 9-5 lead.

Dawid Kowalewicz, step right up. Daniel Niv lobs the ball over, and Kowalewicz shoots a laser-like shot for the goal.

Redhawks cut into the deficit

Redhawks are down but won’t give up. Weston Schmitt finds the open target to keep his birds within striking distance.

Moments later, Elliot Skly tallies another goal, but Naperville Central still has work to do, trailing 13-7.

Waubonsie Valley boys water polo moves on to first ever sectional final

However, this game belongs to the Warriors as El Touny throws in the dagger goal, and for the first time in program history, Waubonsie Valley is moving to the boys water polo sectional final, where they’ll face top-seeded Naperville North. The Redhawks end the final season of legendary head coach Bill Salentine’s career with a 21-9 record.
