Ducks aren't done with phenomenal recruiting surge

In just 21 days Dan Lanning and the Oregon coaching staff have gone from No. 34 and an afterthought in 2026 recruiting to the No. 10 class in the country after adding seven commitments, including 6-7, 340 five-star offensive tackle Immanuel Iheanacho, the highest-rated lineman they've ever recruited.

This week alone offensive line coach A'lique Terry picked up three for the Law Firm, Iheanacho, the No. 4 overall recruit and No. 2 offensive tackle, plus interior offensive linemen Tommy Tofi and Koloi Kelly.

But the Ducks aren't finished. In fact, Thursday night On3 analyst Hayes Fawcett teased out that there are two more commitments on the way.

Fans might be tempted to dismiss this as more recruiting website hype, but it was Fawcett who posted a "x3" immediately before the Ducks won out for Iheanacho, Koloi and Tofi. He's on a hot streak as impressive as Dan Lanning's.

The two imminent commitments could include Jalen Lott, the Panther Creek, Frisco, Texas 4-star wide receiver who announces Tuesday July 8, an athletic wonder at wide receiver who caught 85 passes for 1,111 yards and 16 touchdowns last season, an explosive athlete who high jumps 6'10" and long jumps 24' 3.75".

The other likely "quack" could come on defense, where the Ducks are contending for a pair of elite playmakers. Anthony "Tank" Jones is a five-star edge rusher from St. Paul's Episcopal in Mobile, Alabama, 6-3.5, 240.

Jones is another multi-sport athlete who recorded 16 sacks last season while also competing in varsity basketball and winning 6A Alabama state titles in the discus and shot. Though he hasn't set a commitment date, he's down to Alabama, Oregon and Texas A&M.

Deuce Geralds flashes a rare combination of quickness and power, a 6-2.5, 265 high four-star from Collins Hill HIgh in Suwanee, Georgia, the No. 73 recruit and No. 9 defensive lineman in 2026. He doesn't have commitment date but appears to be nearing a decision.

Detailed scouting reports on Iheanacho, Devin Jackson

Scott Reed of Duck Sports Central offers insight and observation on Oregon's newest recruiting bombshells, Immanuel Iheanacho and Devin Jackson, the 6-2, 195 four-star Orlando, Florida safety.

About Iheanacho, Reed writes, "Immanuel Iheanacho is a mountain of an offensive line prospect with a rare physical profile and surprisingly fluid athleticism. His combination of sheer size, functional movement skills, and competitive edge makes him one of the most coveted offensive linemen in the nation."

He praises the elite Maryland offensive tackle for his elite frame and length, dominant power and punch and footwork, predicting that he will maul opponents in the run game.

On Devin Jackson, Reed writes, "Devin Jackson is a big, physically imposing defensive back who combines modern safety versatility with old-school toughness. Standing at 6-2 and weighing 195 pounds, he has the prototype frame college coaches covet for a multi-role defender in today's spread-heavy game."

Jackson, Reed believes, has the frame and length to match up with bigger receivers and tight ends while displaying fluid hips and exceptional ball skills.

Track and Field adds top decathlete, a boon for Oregon football

NCAA decathlon champion Peyton Bair has signed at Oregon after transferring from Mississippi State.

The junior from Kimberly, Idaho swept to the NCAA decathlon title on June 12 at Hayward Field with 8,323 points, posting a time of 10.25 seconds in the 100 meters and 46 seconds in the 400 meters.

Beck Parsons of the Eugene Emerald reported that Bair, "placed fourth in the long jump and javelin, fifth in the 110-meter hurdles, seventh in the shot put and high jump, eighth in the discus, and 10th in the 1500-meter race. Bair’s only finish outside the top ten came in the pole vault, where he finished 11th."

His move to Eugene immediately elevates Oregon's chances at next year's NCAA championships, especially because they added discus world record holder Mykolas Alekna on Thursday.

It signals that Oregon intends to maintain a commitment to nonrevenue sports despite the limitations created by the House Settlement. It's also fantastic news for the football program, as Bair's brother Gatlin is a 2025 Oregon commit at wide receiver, currently away on a two-year LDS mission.

The younger Bair is a five-star wide receiver with a top time of 10.15 in the 100 meters. He's scheduled to return to the football team in the fall of 2026.
