Oregon Ducks win big in the latest 2026 Rivals300 rankings update

The Oregon Ducks have the No. 4 recruiting class of 2026, and it is undeniably filled to the brim with some of the best blue-chip prospects in the country.

With four five-stars, 11 four-stars, and two three-stars in the group, Oregon head coach Dan Lanning has knocked it out of the park once again.

Most recently, a couple of future Ducks received well-deserved praise when Rivals released its latest rankings of the top 300 players in the upcoming class.

Four-star safety Jalen Lott and four-star athlete Devin Jackson flew up the rankings and were listed as two of the "biggest risers" following the update. Lott, who committed to Oregon over powerhouse programs like Texas and Georgia, climbed the rankings the most, gaining 44 spots.

Jackson, who wasn't considered to be a top-100 athlete in the class but earned offers from other current top-five teams like Miami and LSU, flew from the No. 118 spot to No. 65 in the class.

Not to mention, the Ducks lay claim to one of the most notable top-20 prospects in five-star offensive tackle Immanuel Iheanacho, who ranked No. 15 in the update and picked Oregon over Big Ten rivals Ohio State and Penn State.

The three other five-star prospects in Oregon's incoming class are safety Jett Washington, tight end Kendre' Harrison, and edge rusher Anthony Jones, all of whom help round out a group of recruits that average a 92.60 rating.

Just one year ago, Lanning brought in the No. 4 recruiting class of 2025, and he is poised to do the exact same thing after this cycle wraps up. Since Lanning took over the Oregon football program in 2022, he has brought in four top-10 classes, including the No. 3 class of 2024 just two years ago.
