The Oregon Ducks have secured a significant commitment from five-star safety Trey McNutt for their 2025 recruiting class, boosting their national ranking to sixth. McNutt, regarded as the nation's top safety and a versatile defensive player, chose Oregon over top programs like Ohio State, Texas A&M, and USC. His commitment follows those of other top talents, including cornerbacks Dorian Brew and Brandon Finney, and running back Jordon Davison. McNutt's athleticism and ability to play multiple positions make him a valuable addition to the Ducks' defense. Coach Dan Lanning's influence and Oregon's move to the Big Ten were pivotal in McNutt's decision. The announcement was celebrated with McNutt donning a chain featuring Oregon's Duck logo, symbolizing the program's rising prominence.
