Oregon Ducks 2027 Recruiting Class

Oregon's 2027 recruiting class currently has 13 commits. 10 of these 13 are blue chip recruits (rated four or five stars). The Ducks highest rated class of 2027 recruit so far is quarterback Will Mencl. Mencl is a 6-3, 205 pound quarterback out of Chandler, Arizona and could very well be the future under center in Eugene.

When it comes to the running back position, Oregon has recevied one commitment in the 2027 class. That would be from four-star running back CaDarius McMiller. He has been committed to Oregon since February of 2026.

McMiller is a 6-1, 196 pound running back out of Tyler, Texas. 247Sports ranks him as the No. 10 runnning back in the 2027 class. Getting both McMiller and Williams-Callis in this recruiting class would be a big win for coach Dan Lanning and the Ducks. They would have two of the top freshmen running backs in the country.

In 2025, Oregon's backfield got a major boost from a pair of freshmen, running backs Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill Jr. Despite both being true freshmen, they had the second and third most rushing yards for the Ducks last season behind leading rusher, senior running back Noah Whittington.

Davison and Hill combined for 1,323 rushing yards and 20 rushing touchdowns on 188 carries. As a unit, they averaged 7.04 yards per carry. They played a big role for Oregon's offense and helped balance the attack led by star quarterback Dante Moore.

The Ducks made it to the College Football Playoff semifinal in 2025 and will look to take another step closer to the program's first ever national championship in 2026. The season will kick off on Sept. 5 vs. Boise State.
