Oregon Ducks football coach Dan Lanning stated that the NCAA's new '5-for-5' eligibility model will not impact his team for the 2026 season. The revised rule eliminates the traditional redshirt season, allowing athletes five years of eligibility. Lanning emphasized that current roster requirements limit the number of players who can benefit from this change, as former players returning must meet strict criteria. He noted that fewer individuals on the Ducks' roster fall into that category, hence no significant adjustments are anticipated this season.
