REPORT: Oregon Projected to Land 12 Top 100 Recruits- Including Four 5-Stars

2026 recruiting is starting to heat up a bit, but once summer hits, it’ll be the wild west. Oregon is targeting numerous top recruits, and Rivals' Adam Gorney believes the Ducks could land a whopping twelve prospects ranked inside the top 100 (based on Rivals rankings). Here's who Gorney thinks the Ducks' land:

5-star OT Jackson Cantwell (No. 1)

5-star QB Ryder Lyons (No. 3)

If there's any disappointment in these picks, it's that, in this scenario, Oregon misses out on Jared Curtis. Ryder Lyons is a phenomenal QB and could even be better than Curtis, but he's taking a one-year mission, and Oregon would prefer to have someone come in right away. On the other hand, landing Cantwell is exactly what the Ducks want. Iheanacho would also be a great pull, but it's most likely one or the other, and Cantwell is the No. 1 prospect in the nation.

5-star EDGE Richard Wesley (No. 8)

5-star TE Kendre Harrison (No. 22)

Landing Wesley would be a massive get. Oregon is battling USC and Texas, among others, but the Ducks and Trojans are the two front-runners right now. Wesley recently reclassified to 2026 and is already one of the staff’s top targets. On the other hand, Kendre Harrison has shut down his recruitment, so it should come as no surprise to see him on here.

4-star WR Kayden Dixon-Wyatt (No. 41)

4-star WR Jalen Lott (No. 50)

These two also should not come as a surprise. Oregon has the edge for both of them right now, and the Ducks will also get the last official visit from both of them. Landing them would give the Ducks a phenomenal wide receiver class.

4-star RB Tradarian Ball (No. 52)

4-star OT Kodi Greene (No. 58)

Again, these ones should not come as a surprise, as both are currently committed to Oregon. However, both are still taking some visits. Ball will take an OV with Miami in June, although he looks locked in. Greene will visit Texas and USC in addition to Oregon. Greene will be a tough flip as well, but I'm more confident in saying Ball signs with Oregon than Greene. There is no reason to get worried at the moment.

4-star OLB Talanoa Ili (No. 59)

4-star TE Brock Harris (No. 67)

Landing these two would be big-time pickups for the Ducks. Oregon has had the edge with Ili for a while now, but USC has come on strong since. As for Harris, he's another recruit that plans to take a mission before college. Because of that, the Ducks could possibly land three tight ends in the 2026 class, although it's unlikely. He will take an OV to Oregon June 6–8.

4-star DB Davon Benjamin (No. 70)

4-star SAF Jett Washington (No. 78)

Landing this pair would make for a stellar secondary haul. Benjamin has been Oregon's to lose for a while, but USC has made up some ground in that recruitment. Washington is a 6-foot-5 safety, and anytime you have an opportunity to land one with that height, you have to try. He is still working out his OV schedule, but Oregon will for sure get one.
