Mikhail plays for Bonita in La Verne, California. According to the 247Sports Composite, the 6-3, 227-pound prospect is the 69th rated player in the country and the No. 8 linebacker.

Lanning and the Ducks coaching staff has had a busy weekend. On Friday, four-star running back Jordon Davison and four-star defensive lineman Josiah Sharma committed to Oregon while Saturday saw five-star cornerback Dorian Brew and four-star tight end Da'Saahn Brame do the same.

The Ducks have 14 commits right now, with a pair of five-stars and 11 four-stars, according to the 247Sports Composite. That's good for No. 5 in the nation.
