Recruiting Roundup 

After a few priority targets opted to verbally commit elsewhere, Oregon had a rather uneventful week in recruiting. Here’s a recap of everything you have missed since last Thursday.

2027 Priority Defensive Lineman Update

5-Star DL Jalen Brewster from Cedar Hill HS (Tex.) gave me an update this week on some of his top schools, or schools recruiting him the hardest. The 6’3 302-pound interior defensive lineman told me, “Oregon, Texas, USC, SMU, Oklahoma, Florida, Florida State, Ohio State, and Miami,” are the schols pushing hard right now. There have been rumors tht Brewster will be reclassifying to 2026 as well. While he told me he isn’t considering it, there are reports that would contradict what he told me. My take is that he’s trying to keep the situation quiet and if he is to reclassify he wants to do so whenever he feels best to do it. The Ducks have consistently found themselves at the top of the list for Jalen, and should be considered a major contender here.

2026 Priority Linebacker Targets end up in the SEC

While both Travis and I had predicted Tyler Atkinson and Nick Abrams II wouldn’t be choosing Oregon, it still was a bummer to hear them go elsewhere. Tyler Atkinson opted to commit first to Texas, a battle where the Ducks finished third. Nick Abrams on the other hand, chose Atkinson’s long time leader, and runner-up in his recruitment, Georgia. The Ducks finished second in the Abrams II sweepstakes, and distance really complicated things for Oregon. I think it’s astonishing how Atkinson visited Athens 18 times before his commitment and is a Georgia native, but ends up elsewhere.
