Who is most likely to flip to Oregon?
Ranking all recruits committed elsewhere based on how likely they are to flip to Oregon
RECRUITING FOOTBALL

It's impossible to land every recruit the first time around. Sometimes you just have to keep chipping away to get a commitment. In this article I will be ranking every recruit that took an OV or had Oregon as one of their top schools based on how likely I think they are to flip to Oregon down the road.
20. WR Chris Lawson (Washington)
Lawson comes in last on this list just based on the fact that Oregon doesn't need another WR. Moore, Wilson, and Perry is one hell of a WR class.
19. 5-Star DL Malik Autry (Auburn)
At one point he had an OV scheduled but then later his plans changed. I would be really surprised if he doesn't sign with the tigers.
18. 4-Star DB Adonyss Currie (A&M)
Oregon was very close to landing him the first time around but he ending up picking the aggies. The reason I have him so low is because we probably wouldn't have Brandon Finney if it wasn't for Currie going elsewhere. I don't see Oregon circling back.
17. LB Gavin Nix (Miami)
Oregon doesn't have a LB commit yet so I could see them trying to circle back but at the end of the day, I think he stays in the sunshine state.
16. QB Keelon Russell (Alabama)
Russell is teammates with Dakorien Moore but that's really the only reason I have him higher than the other guys. He is locked in with bama but who knows, maybe he decides he wants to play with DK in college.
15. DL Josiah Sharma (Texas)
Losing Sharma was a little surprising but it sounds like Texas was where he wanted to be. I doubt he flips back, but Oregon will keep recruiting him.
14. QB Husan Longstreet (A&M)
If Oregon ends up signing two QBs this class, I'm 99% sure it will be Longstreet. Now, I think it's pretty unlikely he flips to Oregon but they will keep recruiting him.
13. TE Da'Saahn Brame (Tennessee)
Like Sharma, I think Brame just felt at home at Tennessee. I have him a little higher because TE is a more important need than DL but at the end of the day, it would be pretty surprising to see either of them flip back.
12. OT Juan Gaston (Georgia)
Oregon finished in his final 3 but distance was a killer in his recruitment. I doubt he flips because of it but you never know. He was a top target.
11. S Omarion Robinson (Oklahoma)
Oregon almost landed his commitment the first time around but Oklahoma stole the momentum late. I could definitely see Oregon circling back if they don't land Jonah Williams
10. OT Aaron Dunn (Utah)
Oregon once again very nearly landed his commitment the first time around. His commitment came down to the wire so clearly this race was super close the whole time. Oregon will keep recruiting him.
9. OLB Justin Hill (Alabama)
Oregon is likely going to sign at least one linebacker this class and they almost landed him the first time around. A lot of people think Ohio State was the runner up but it seems to me like Oregon actually was.
8. TE Andrew Olesh (Michigan)
Oregon needs tight ends this class so it's not a matter of if they sign a tight end, it's when. Olesh was a recent offer and I expect Oregon to push here.
7. CB DJ Pickett (LSU)
Probably the biggest sting for Oregon was when Pickett chose LSU. Oregon is still recruiting him but it looks like distance is going to be tough to overcome. If distance wasn't a factor, Oregon would be really tough to beat
6. TE Kaleb Edwards (Alabama)
Another tight end Orgon missed out on. Oregon will keep recruiting him and they have distance on their side on this one.
5. Na'eem Offord (Ohio State)
Oregon and Auburn are going to keep trying to flip him. He keeps taking visits so there is a better chance than most are giving credit.
4. TE Linkon Cure (Kansas State)
Another player that Oregon nearly landed. They need tight ends and are going to keep recruiting him. Kansas State is his hometown team but if he wants to go to a bigger program, Oregon will be waiting. This could be another Elijah Rushing type situation.
3. DL Trajen Odom (Ohio State)
Yet another recruit Oregon just barley missed out on. They don't need many DL this cycle but they will likely take a few. Odom was their top target at the position.
2. LB Keylan Moses (LSU)
Oregon was in a good spot for Moses after his last visit but he took a return visit to LSU and they grabbed the momentum back. All it takes is another visit to Eugene to regain the momentum.
1. LB Noah Mikhail (Texas A&M)
Mikhail was Oregon's top LB target and they will keep pushing hard for him. A&M did a fantastic job building relationships with him but Oregon really wants him and they will continue to recruit him hard.
