Draft Profile: Bio
Terrance Ferguson, a 6'5", 243-pound tight end from Oregon, enters the 2025 NFL Draft as a highly accomplished collegiate player. A former four-star recruit from Colorado, Ferguson quickly became an integral part of the Ducks' offense, earning first-team All-Pac-12 honors in his senior season.Ferguson's production steadily increased throughout his college career. As a freshman in 2021, he caught 17 passes for 141 yards and two touchdowns. His sophomore year saw a significant jump to 32 receptions for 391 yards and five scores. In 2023, Ferguson had his best season yet, recording 42 catches for 416 yards and six touchdowns, solidifying his status as one of the top tight ends in the country.
Ferguson's impact at Oregon goes beyond mere statistics. He finishes his college career tied for fourth all-time in receptions by an Oregon tight end with 91, just 33 shy of the program record. His 13 career touchdown catches are tied for third-most by a Ducks tight end, only two behind the all-time mark.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Prototypical size for the position with a lean, athletic frame that presents a large catch radius
- Displays impressive acceleration off the line, using long strides to eat up cushion against defenders
- Adept route runner who can threaten vertically and make sharp cuts to create separation
- Shows good body control and flexibility to adjust to off-target throws
- Reliable hands catcher who plucks the ball away from his frame consistently
- Red zone threat with the ability to box out defenders and high-point passes
- Willing blocker who shows good technique and effort in the run game
- Versatile player who can line up inline, in the slot, or split out wide
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Lacks elite top-end speed to consistently stretch the seam at the NFL level
- Can struggle to maintain blocks against more powerful edge defenders
- Occasionally rounds off routes, allowing defenders to close on the ball
- Contact balance is inconsistent, sometimes going down too easily after the catch
- Could improve play strength to better handle press coverage at the line of scrimmage
Scouting Report: Summary
Ferguson currently profiles as a solid Day 2 selection in the NFL Draft, likely coming off the board in the second or third round. His combination of size, athleticism, and receiving ability make him an intriguing prospect for teams looking to add a versatile tight end to their offense.While Ferguson may not possess the elite traits of a first-round tight end, his well-rounded skill set and production against top competition suggest he can contribute immediately as a rookie. His ability to line up in multiple spots and threaten defenses at all levels of the field will be attractive to offensive coordinators.
Ferguson's blocking skills, though not dominant, are sufficient to keep him on the field in most situations. As he continues to develop his strength and technique, he has the potential to become a true three-down tight end at the next level. With his combination of receiving ability and blocking potential, Ferguson should find a role quickly in an NFL offense and has the upside to develop into a reliable starter.
