Oregon Football Secures Five-Star 2026 Recruits, Boosts National Profile

The Oregon Ducks are building a formidable football program with high-profile recruits and promising players. Five-star cornerback Brandon Arrington, ranked No. 1 at his position in the 2026 class, has announced he will commit on July 5, choosing among top programs including Oregon. Additionally, five-star tight end Kendre Harrison, a dual-sport athlete praised for his physical prowess and potential impact, remains a key commit for Oregon's 2026 class. Wide receiver Evan Stewart, ranked the second-best in the Big Ten for 2025, is expected to have an increased role in Oregon's offense after a productive 2024 season. Analyst Tom Fornelli has even dubbed Oregon as the "new Georgia," highlighting the program's strong recruiting and defensive talent under coach Dan Lanning, a former Georgia defensive coordinator. The Ducks are preparing for the 2025 season opener against Montana State on August 30 as they continue to develop their roster and compete in the Big Ten.
