Oregon coach Dan Lanning and the Ducks have received the commitments from seven different class of 2026 recruits: four-star athlete Kendre Harrison, four-star running back Tradarian Ball, four-star defensive lineman Tony Cumberland, four-star linebacker Tristan Phillips, three-star safety Xavier Lherisse, three-star defensive lineman Viliami Moala, and edge rusher Dutch Horisk.

Recently Oregon has been dealt some bad recruiting news. Oregon five-star star edge commit Richard Wesley decommitted from the 2026 class and the BYU Cougars announced the signing of Oregon four-star signee Alai Kalaniuvalu, who has flipped from the Ducks to head to Provo for his freshman season.

247Sports currently has Oregon with the No. 27 ranked 2026 recruiting class while On3 ranks the class No. 10. This number is expected to jump up as Oregon is still in pursuit of some of the top recruits in the nation.

A couple of these high end recruits thats Oregon is in the running for are five-star safety Jett Washington and five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson.

Since Lanning took over as Oregon coach in 2022, the Ducks have been right at the top of every recruiting and transfer cycle. In 2025, Oregon had the No. 3 ranked incoming class of players according to 247Sports.
