Oregon hosted a massive recruiting weekend that featured six 5-stars and nine total recruits, They all walked away impressed, so here's where things stand after a big weekend:

5-star SAF Jett Washington

Going into this visit, Oregon was the favorite, and coming out of it, they still look like the leader. Unless Washington reschedules his Ohio State visit, he should be moving toward decision mode soon, and I expect a commitment not long after. Oregon and Alabama have been the two main contenders, but a recent visit to USC has brought the Trojans into the mix. Even with that, I still feel pretty confident about Oregon’s chances.

5-star LB Tyler Atkinson

Oregon definitely helped themselves with this visit, but he is still going to be a tough pull. That said, the visit went very well, and Oregon positioned themselves in a spot where they will at least be a factor moving forward. I still like Georgia as of today.

5-star EDGE Richard Wesley

Oregon is still in a phenomenal position as of today, but I was told they are not expecting a commitment anytime soon.

5-star SAF Joey O'Brien

Oregon really helped themselves with O'Brien this weekend. Coming out of it, I was told Oregon and Notre Dame are the top-2 with Clemson and Penn State still fighting. He's committing June 20th and still has his Notre Dame visit this weekend.

5-star WR Calvin Russell

After this visit, Oregon has cemented themselves as legit contenders in this recruitment. If Oregon was closer to home, I believe he would be a Duck, but the reality is the distance is going to be tough to overcome. Nevertheless, Oregon made a move with Russell this weekend and should not be counted out.

4-star OL Jax Tanner

I haven't heard anything new on Tanner yet, but his faith is going to be a crucial part of his recruitment. Michigan and BYU are Oregon's main competition, with his BYU official visit taking place later this month.

5-star CB Brandon Arrington

Oregon made a move with Arrington this weekend, and it sounds like Oregon regained the lead, but it's going to have to last another month as he still has more visits to take before a commitment. Texas A&M is still the biggest challenger to Oregon.
