How Oregon's Brandon Dorlus, Evan Williams, Khyree Jackson performed at the NFL Combine
Through two full days at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, several Oregon Ducks and Oregon State Beavers have left their mark in various drills at the event.
Former Oregon defensive lineman Brandon Dorlus finished in the top-10 among defensive tackles in each of the drills he participated in, and was widely considered a riser due to his performance Thursday afternoon.
Dorlus ran the second-fastest time in the 40-yard dash among interior linemen, sprinting for a 4.85 time. His 10-yard split was also good for third among interior linemen at 1.68. Elsewhere, Dorlus had a vertical jump of 30.5 inches (10th), a broad jump of 9 feet, 3 inches (sixth), a 3-cone drill time of 7.43 (second), and a 20-yard shuttle in 4.85 (ninth).
On the second day of the Combine, which included defensive backs and tight ends, Oregon cornerback Khyree Jackson and safety Evan Williams participated, along with Oregon State's Kitan Oladapo.
Among cornerbacks, Jackson finished with a 4.50 40-yard dash, which finished in the middle of the pack, with a 36.5 inch vertical jump, and an 11 foot, 1 inch broad jump, which was good for third-best among corners.
Among the safety group, Williams finished with a 4.60 40-time, the second-best vertical jump at 40.5 inches, and the fourth-best broad jump at 10 feet, 6 inches. Oladapo had a 4.58 40-yard dash, a 36 inch vertical, and a 9 foot, 9 inch broad jump. Oladapo also had 15 reps of 225 pounds, good for fifth among athletes that participated.
Oregon State defensive back Ryan Cooper Jr. did not run a 40, but participated in some on-field drills and impressed.
The last two days of the Combine are Saturday and Sunday, with skill position players like Bo Nix and Troy Franklin set to go Saturday and offensive linemen like Jackson Powers-Johnson set to run Sunday.
