Dan Lanning and Oregon football have one of the best recruiting classes in the country for 2025, ranked No. 10 as of Aug. 21.

But obviously the Ducks aren't done yet.

Every year, recruiting classes range from between 20-25 players and that's so these schools can make room for the transfer portal additions as well. Oregon currently has 15 players committed in its 2025 class, led by five-stars Dakorien Moore and Trey McNutt.

On top of those five-stars, the Ducks also have 11 four-stars. But they'll undoubtedly add more.

Some commits come by way of natural recruitment but others come by way of a flip. Oregon is trying the latter with one of its top targets in the 2025 class who is currently committed to USC.

That target is four-star cornerback Shamar Arnoux.

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound cornerback from Carrollton, Ga., is receiving a ton of interest on the recruiting trail despite committing to USC earlier this summer. According to Sam Spiegelman, Auburn and Colorado are also trying to change the young cornerback's mind.

Arnoux is the No. 361 overall recruit and No. 32 cornerback in the 2025 class, according to the 247Sports Composite, but Rivals is even higher on him. In fact, he's ranked in their top 250.

This would be a heck of a flip for Oregon as Arnoux seems to be rising in the eyes of recruiting experts and I wouldn't be shocked if we saw a bump in the rankings for him soon. He would become Oregon's third defensive back commit, joining McNutt and Dorian Brew.

Not too shabby of a class, especially after losing Demetrice Martin.
