RECRUITING FOOTBALL

Oregon's 2025 recruiting class is shaping up well, but the 2026 class could be even better. The Ducks are already making big moves to land top recruits, and one of their major targets will be visiting next weekend. This visit is important as Oregon's coaching staff will have extra time to focus on recruits, thanks to the team's bye week.

One of the top 2026 prospects coming to Eugene is 5-star ATH Brandon Arrington. According to Rivals' Adam Gorney, Arrington will be in town on November 23rd. This is a great opportunity for Oregon's coaches to spend more time with him and other recruits like 5-star Jahkeem Stewart, who will also be visiting that weekend.

Arrington is known for his elite speed. He might be the fastest player in the 2026 class, with impressive track records. He won state titles in the 100m (10.33) and 200m (20.55), with personal bests of 10.27 and 20.40 in those events. His speed would make him a perfect fit in Oregon’s offense or defense.

At 6'2 and 180 pounds, Arrington is ranked as the 15th best player in the 2026 class by the 247Sports composite. He plays both cornerback and wide receiver and excels at both. This will be his first visit to Oregon, and while the Ducks are not the current favorite, they will work hard to make a strong impression on him.

Texas A&M is thought to be the early favorite to land Arrington, but other schools like Georgia, USC, and Alabama have also offered him. While Oregon is not leading right now, this visit gives them a chance to increase their chances at landing one of the fastest players in the country.
