Dixon-Wyatt commitment Sunday touches off momentum or misery in Oregon football recruiting
In the first of a series of pivotal decisions for Oregon's 2026 football recruiting class, Kayden Dixon-Wyatt announces today on the 247Sports YouTube channel, live Sunday at 12:30 p.m. PDT.
The No. 31 prospect in the nation and No. 5-ranked receiver, Dixon-Wyatt is followed in short order by Nashville Christian 5-star quarterback Jared Curtis on Monday and No. 1 offensive tackle and No. 1 overall Jackson Cantwell on Tuesday May 13.
Oregon coaches Will Stein and A'lique Terry made home visits to Curtis and Cantwell during the week ahead of their decisions, each of which a battle between Oregon and Georgia. Dixon-Wyatt will have five hats on the table, the Ducks, Ohio State, USC, Texas and Alabama.
Witness the drama, the hugs, the tears, and the gushing stream of cliched questions live on this embedded video link, or read the capsule here later on this afternoon.

Grind never stops for Kelly Graves, Katie Fiso, Ari Long
Coach Graves posted some practice work by the three as they begin off season work to sharpen their shooting in preparation for a 2025-26 season that begins in early November.
The team finished 20-12 last season with a 59-53 loss to Duke in the second round of the NCAA tournament, 10-8 in the Big Ten.
This offseason they've added three promising players in the transfer portal, guard Astera Tuhina from Washington State and the Kosovo National Team, scorer and rebounder Mia Jacobs from Fresno State and Perth, Australia, and former five-star shooting guard Avary Cain, a freshman transfer from UCLA.
In Fiso, Long, Jacobs, Tuhina and Cain, Graves has quietly put together a roster that can play the open-court style he likes with the ability to knock down shots. Tuhina connected on 43.5 percent of her threes in 2023-24, 36.4 last season.

Fiso chipped in 8 points in 19 productive minutes in the Ducks 77-73 overtime win over Vanderbilt in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Cain earned Mountain League MVP as a senior in high school while averaging over 20 points a game.
The team loses top scorers Deja Kelly, Phillipina Kyei and Peyton Scott, but contributors Amina Muhammad, Elisa Melvius and Sofia Bell all return. This should be a deep and exciting team.
