Will Stein has his 2026 quarterback. Vista Murrieta four-star quarterback Bryson Beaver committed to the Ducks Wednesday over Ole Miss, Alabama and Auburn, Oregon's 10th commitment in the 2026 class.

The 6-3, 195 QB from Murrieta, California skyrocketed up the quarterback rankings after a star turn at the Elite 11 Competition, finishing third overall among 20 of the nation's top passing prospects.

He's rated a three-star on Rivals, four at 247 Sports. Last season he led Vista to a 8-4 record, All-Inland and All-District after passing for 3,314 yards and 33 TDs. He's accurate, a 66.4 percent passer in 2024.

Beaver has to fill out a lanky frame and gain maturity, but like the rest of the group in the Oregon quarterback room he carries a 3.8 GPA.

He told Steve Wiltfong of On3 Sports, “Coach Lanning and Coach Stein and all the other coaches they have in there, they’re people players want to play for and they’re a big team builder guys and I feel the chemistry there with all the players and coaches.”
