Oregon Lands Commitment From Local Kicker Rocco Graziano
Oregon picked up an important commitment on Friday, as local Eugene (Ore.) Sheldon kicker Rocco Graziano announced his commitment to the Ducks.
Graziano is Oregon’s 15th commitment in the 2025 class. He didn’t waste much time choosing the Ducks, as he landed a scholarship offer from Joe Lorig and the coaching staff on July 27.
Some other programs that were in the picture for the specialist include Boise State, UNLV, North Carolina, Boise State, Oregon State and Washington State.
Graziano’s addition continues a strong week for Dan Lanning and company on the recruiting trail after they landed 2026 Mater Dei offensive lineman Kodi Greene on Monday.
Listed at 6’2″, 200 pounds, he was a model of consistency during his junior campaign. He made eight of his nine field goal attempts, connecting on a long of 46 yards. The newest Duck converted all 36 of his point after attempts and 82% of his kickoffs resulted in touchbacks.
Looking at Oregon’s recent special teams acquisitions, the Ducks added former Oregon State kicker Atticus Sappington from the transfer portal this offseason. He projects to take over kicking duties for Oregon after Camden Lewis moved on from the program. The team also signed 6-foot-5, 225-pound kicker/punter Tyler Kinsman from Nampa, Idaho in the 2024 recruiting class.
