Oregon Secures 4-Star WR Jalen Lott, Boosts Class to No. 9

Oregon has secured a major 2026 recruiting victory with the commitment of four-star wide receiver Jalen Lott from Frisco Panther Creek, Texas, who chose the Ducks over Texas, LSU, and USC. Lott, ranked among the top 50 players nationally and the No. 5 athlete in the 247Sports Composite, cited his strong relationship with head coach Dan Lanning and the Oregon staff as key factors in his decision. Lott had a standout junior season, recording 85 catches for 1,111 yards and 16 touchdowns, and also excels in track and field, winning the long jump at the 2024 USATF National Junior Olympics. His commitment bolsters Oregon's highly ranked 2026 class, which now features several elite prospects from Texas, including five-star receiver Dakorien Moore and blue-chip running back Tradarian Ball. Lott also boasts a strong athletic pedigree, with parents and siblings who have competed at the collegiate level. With his versatility and athleticism, Lott is expected to contribute both as a receiver and potentially in other roles for the Ducks.
