Ducks add four-star edge rusher Prince Tavizon a year early
Lincoln High San Diegon edge rusher Prince Tavizon, 6-4, 245, announced Tuesday that he's reclassifying to 2026 while remaining committed to the Ducks. He committed originally on June 1st, but this coming season will be his last year of high school football.
Tavizon has the size and physical maturity to make it work, a player 247Sports analyst Greg Biggins calls, "a rocked out 6-foot-3, 240 pound edge with tremendous raw power and strength."
Lincoln High has become a recruiting hotbed for the Ducks, the school that brought them Akili Smith Sr., Akili Smith Jr. and cornerback Jahlil Florence.
The high-energy edge rusher gives Oregon 15 commitments in the 2026 class which currently ranks No. 9 in the country at On3 Sports.
Prince Tavizon, now a 2026 commitment for the Ducks. What stands out about him is his power, quickness and pursuit. 90 tackles and 14 sacks last season. https://t.co/oAEd3WCBfk #hudl

Though Tavizon remains committed he's still taking visits, so there's still some work to do in the relationship.
