Visitor List | May 17-19
Four 5-Stars set to visit
RECRUITING FOOTBALL
5/17/20244 min read
Dan Lanning and company are putting together another fantastic visitor list for this upcoming weekend. This isn't very long but it features three 5-Stars. (As I update this list it keeps growing with elite talent)
Jonah Williams is one of three 5-Stars on this list. He has already been on campus 2-3 times with his last visit being in mid March. As of right now I think it is safe to say Texas A&M and Oklahoma are his top 2 with the aggies leading. On3's Steve Wiltfong recently placed an RPM in favor of the Aggies. With that being said, Oregon is certainly not out of this recruitment, in fact, I think this visit will put Oregon right up there with Texas A&M and Oklahoma. Oregon is the dark-horse in this recruitment and should not be counted out. On top of that Oregon gets the last official visit. Williams has official visits scheduled to USC June 2nd, Texas A&M June 7th, LSU June 14th, and Oregon June 21st.
Michael Terry can play WR, TE, and RB. His versatility is definitely something the staff likes. Last Thursday some staff went out to his high school to give him a visit. Oregon is pushing hard here and I definitely see a world where he signs with Oregon. Despite that, I think Texas A&M leads for him as well. Texas was the early favorite but they seem to have faded a little bit. I feel confident saying Oregon is in second right now with Nebraska being third. If there is any bad news here it's that this is his official visit. I bet they wish they could have saved that for later. Terry already officially visited Nebraska and has Oregon scheduled for May 17th, and Texas A&M scheduled for June 13th.
Odom will take a visit to Oregon this weekend. Odom has an unofficial top 3 of Ohio State, USC, and Oregon. Oregon was the early favorite after he visited in early February but then he took a visit to USC and they stole the momentum. Odom does have a crystal ball to USC but that was placed last month and the Trojans seem to have fallen a bit since then. I think this visit will solidify Oregon in his top 2. Odom already took an official visit to UCLA and has Ohio State scheduled for June 7th, Oregon June 14th, and USC June 21st.
Oregon has positioned itself as a top choice for Alofaituli. However, Miami currently seems to be the favorite for the talented lineman as there are two crystal ball predictions for him to land at Miami. Oregon is not far behind and this weekend's visit to Eugene gives the ducks a chance to start trending for the elite prospect. I expect Alofaituli to take an official visit to the ducks as well.
It has now been confirmed that Dakorien Moore will not be visiting this weekend. It was reported Thursday morning by Steve Wilfong that he was going to visit but apparently things changed. On top of that, Moore has received multiple crystal balls to land at Texas. Obviously it seems Oregon has work to do, but anyone who says this is over should be laughed at. Oregon is still in his top 3 (probably second) and he will without a doubt take more visits to Oregon. It just wont happen this weekend. Moore is working on official visit dates as we speak.
Oregon's QB commit will be back on campus this weekend according to On3's Max Torres. He has shown no signs of backing off his pledge.
Oregon's WR commit is back on campus
Utu is on campus this weekend.
Offord will take his first visit to Oregon this weekend according to 247Sports Tom Loy. Oregon has serious work to do but this visits gives the ducks hope as they work to flip him. I listed Offord in my "FLIP WATCH" post.
Hill will visit Oregon this weekend according to Steve Wiltfong. He is set to commit July 3rd and recently released a top 4 of Oregon, USC, Ohio State, and Alabama. Oregon is in this one but they trail Ohio State right now. With that said, Oregon is a major threat to land him.
Lyons will visit this weekend according to Rivals' Adam Gorney. Lyons is one of the best QB's in the 2026 class. He has been on campus multiple times before and Oregon is definitely one of his top schools.
4-Star DL James Carrington (2026)
Carrington would be a 5-Star if they released more 5-Star this early. He is #22 nationally and the #2 overall DL. Like most of the 2026 prospects, you hope this visit leads to more in the future. These recruitments have ways to go.
4-Star ATH Shavar Young Jr (2026):
Young is one of the better 2026 prospects. He can play wide receiver or cornerback. It's still early in his recruitment but it's a good sign to get him on campus. Again, you hope this visit leads to more in the future.
4-Star RB Javian Osborne (2026):
Osborne is rated as the #1 RB in the class of 2026 according to On3. It's a big win to get him on campus. I do not think Oregon leads but it's still super early so that's not a big deal. Once again, the goal of this visit is to get him back later on for another visit later on. Osborne was teammates with true freshman safety Aaron Flowers so he already has a connection which is always good.
4-Star LB Talanoa Ili (2026):
Ili took his first visit to Oregon this weekend. He is another player that would be a 5-Star if they released more this early.
Unranked CB Josiah Molden (2027):
Josiah Molden is the son of former Oregon Duck Alex Molden and the younger brother of former Husky Elijah Molden. Elijah has been a frequent visitor and the ducks seem to be recruiting him hard.
