Oregon's Jurrion Dickey Suspended Indefinitely, And Now His Future With The Ducks Uncertain

(BCSNN) — Oregon wide receiver Jurrion Dickey has been suspended indefinitely, head coach Dan Lanning announced Tuesday, citing violations of team standards. The decision comes just two weeks into fall camp and leaves the Ducks without one of their most physically gifted receivers heading into the 2025 season.

Lanning did not specify the exact nature of the suspension but emphasized the importance of team culture. “We’ve got two team rules: be respectful and be on time,” Lanning said. “There are some pieces of that where I felt like he needed a break from us, and we needed a break from him, so we can focus on what’s in front of us right now.” Lanning added that Dickey’s future with the program remains open, saying, “That might be here. That might be somewhere else.”

Dickey, a redshirt sophomore, was one of the highest-rated recruits in Oregon history. A five-star prospect out of East Palo Alto, California, he was ranked as the No. 2 wide receiver in the 2023 class and chose Oregon over Georgia, USC, and Texas A&M. Despite his pedigree, Dickey has struggled to make an impact, recording just two catches for 14 yards over 15 games in two seasons.

Injuries have hampered Dickey’s development, including a knee issue that limited his senior year of high school and slowed his transition to the college level. He redshirted in 2023 and saw most of his snaps on special teams last season. Coaches had hoped this fall would mark a breakout opportunity, especially with starting receiver Evan Stewart sidelined by a knee injury.

With Dickey unavailable, Oregon will lean on Florida State transfer Malik Benson, senior Gary Bryant Jr., and redshirt juniors Kyler Kasper and Justius Lowe to fill the void. True freshman Dakorien Moore, the No. 1 receiver in the 2025 class, is also expected to contribute early.

The Ducks enter the season ranked No. 7 in the AP preseason poll and open against Idaho on Aug. 30. While Dickey’s suspension adds uncertainty to an already thin receiver room, Lanning remains focused on building a disciplined and competitive roster. “Wishing him nothing but the best,” Lanning said. “We want to see him get back to where he can be a contributor.”
