Oregon is preparing for a home game in the College Football Playoff (CFP) as Dan Lanning‘s program is on the hunt for a national championship. Two members of the offensive staff in Eugene will immediately pivot to work at Kentucky full-time once the run for the Ducks in the CFP ends.

Cutter Leftwich is following Will Stein to Kentucky, KSR can confirm. CBS Sports was the first to report.

Cutter Leftwich is a former center who played at UTEP and McNeese State. After his playing career ended, the class of 2017 recruit began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at UTSA in 2021. He spent one season in San Antonio where he worked with Stein. Leftwich then left to work under head coach Chip Kelly as a graduate assistant at UCLA in 2022. That led to support staff gig at Oregon in 2023. From there, Leftwich received his first full-time role at North Texas in 2024 where he worked for head coach Eric Morris. Oregon then brought Leftwich back to Eugene and gave him a run coordinator title as he worked behind offensive line coach A’lique Terry.
