According to on3, Oregon landed 12 ESPN 300 prospects in their 2026 class—including five-star tight end Kendre’ Harrison and safety Jett Washington—propelling Oregon Ducks Football Recruiting to the No. 6 national ranking. The Ducks currently rank second in the Big Ten behind only Ohio State, with nine total commitments featuring multiple four-star defenders.
Five-Star Commits Anchor Elite Class Foundation
Harrison’s November commitment set the program’s recruiting tone after ranking as a top-10 national prospect at tight end. Washington joins him as the second Five-Star Recruit in the class, providing elite safety depth for Dan Lanning’s defense. The Oregon Ducks 2026 Football Recruiting Class also features four-star prospects Xavier Lherisse at cornerback, running back Tradarian Ball, and defensive tackle Tony Cumberland spanning both sides of the ball.
Offensive Line Depth Highlights Big Ten Preparation
Five-star offensive lineman Immanuel Iheanacho anchors Oregon’s front five recruiting efforts alongside four-star commits Tommy Tofi and Koloi Keli. The trio addresses immediate needs as the Ducks transition to Big Ten competition against physical defensive fronts from Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State. Head coach Dan Lanning emphasized the offensive line priority after securing three ESPN 300-rated blockers within the Oregon Ducks Recruiting News cycle.
Wide Receiver Targets Address October Decommitment
The Ducks are actively pursuing big-bodied receivers after four-star defensive end Richard Wesley decommitted in October, shifting focus to offensive weapons. Four-star Milan Parris recently decommitted from Iowa State and plans an upcoming visit to Eugene, while the program also targets Ohio State commit Chris Henry and Syracuse pledge Calvin Russell. These moves reflect the program’s emphasis on adding physical receivers who can compete in the conference’s demanding passing attacks.
The Oregon Ducks Football Recruiting efforts have produced a top-six national class with 12 ESPN 300 commits and multiple five-star anchors heading into 2026. For more coverage of the Ducks and related recruiting updates, visit Prospect-Radar.com.
