5-Star Cornerback Brandon Arrington Sets June 19 Commitment Between Oregon, Texas A&M

Five-star cornerback Brandon Arrington, the top-ranked athlete in the 2026 recruiting class, has narrowed his college choices to the Oregon Ducks and Texas A&M Aggies, moving up his commitment date to June 19. Arrington, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound athlete from Spring Valley, California, impressed both programs during official visits, with Texas A&M trending as the favorite since late 2024 due to their persistent recruitment and strong relationships. Oregon also remains a serious contender, particularly due to Arrington's close ties with the Ducks' coaching staff and their defensive plan. The decision is notable as Arrington previously considered other top programs like Alabama and Penn State but ultimately cut them from his final list. Both schools are vying to secure this dynamic two-sport athlete, who is also an elite sprinter with potential Olympic prospects. The announcement is highly anticipated and expected to conclude a highly competitive recruitment battle.
