Oregon Secures Four-Star Safety Devin Jackson for 2026 Class

Four-star safety Devin Jackson from Orlando's First Academy has committed to the University of Oregon for the 2026 football class, marking a significant recruiting win for the Ducks. Jackson, who previously committed to Florida but decommitted after nine months, chose Oregon over major programs such as Florida, Miami, Nebraska, LSU, and others, attracted by Oregon's defensive system, player development, and coaching staff led by Dan Lanning. Standing 6-foot-2 and weighing 195 pounds, Jackson's versatility allows him to play multiple roles in the secondary, fitting well into Oregon's aggressive defensive approach. He joins a strong recruiting class that already includes several high-profile defensive backs and athletes from Florida, underscoring the Ducks' expanding national recruiting footprint. Jackson's decision reflects his desire to focus on football in an environment conducive to reaching the NFL, highlighting both the program's appeal and its growing competitiveness on the national stage. His commitment is part of a broader recruiting surge for Oregon, which is also securing top prospects in other positions ahead of the 2026 season.
