Oregon Ducks Lead Nation in Average Recruit Rating
The Oregon Ducks have adopted a recruiting strategy that emphasizes quality over quantity, positioning their 2026 class among the nation's elite despite having fewer commitments than many top programs. Under head coach Dan Lanning, Oregon's class ranks highly in average recruit rating per commit, recently surpassing LSU with a 93.75 average, even though they rank ninth in total commitments nationally. The Ducks boast three five-star commitments, including offensive lineman Immanuel Iheanacho, tight end Kendre Harrison, and safety Jett Washington, who fit the team's specific needs and bring high-level talent. Oregon's recruiting success has been driven in part by key coaches such as offensive line coach A'lique Terry and defensive backs coach Chris Hampton, both recognized as top recruiters nationally and instrumental in landing top prospects like Iheanacho. This focused approach has helped Oregon rise quickly in national rankings, even moving from outside the top 30 to inside the top 10 in recent months, highlighting their ability to blend traditional recruiting with transfer portal additions effectively. The Ducks' recruiting class is widely viewed as a potential game-changer, setting the stage for sustained competitiveness in college football.
