Now that the Oregon Ducks‘ spring football season is over their attention turns to recruiting this offseason as we head into the summer months and coaches get out on the road.
Sunday brought an opportunity for some positive momentum. Four-star wide receiver Kayden Dixon-Wyatt was set to announce his commitment, with the Ducks among the front-runners. However, Dixon-Wyatt chose to commit to the Ohio State Buckeyes rather than Oregon. That makes what’s ahead even more crucial for the Ducks.
This next month is going to be incredibly important on the recruiting front, with two of Oregon’s top prospects in the cycle — 5-star QB Jared Curtis and 5-star OT Jackson Cantwell — set to announce their commitments in the next couple of weeks.
Curtis, the No. 1 QB in the class, will decide between Oregon and Georgia on Monday, May 5, while Cantwell, the No. 1 overall player in the class, will decide between Oregon, Georgia, Miami, and Ohio State on May 13.
While the Ducks had the No. 1 class in the nation earlier this year, a few commitment flips hurt their standing. With both Curtis and Cantwell still on the board, the Ducks currently have the No. 20 class in the nation with just seven commitments. Adding either Curtis or Cantwell to the mix would get them up to the No. 12 class in the nation, while adding both would skyrocket Oregon up to No. 8 in the 2026 cycle.
It is still only May, and official visits are set to start in June with recruiting really ramping up over the summer months, so fans certainly have a reason to be patient as Dan Lanning, Marshall Malchow and the rest of the recruiting staff put together their class, but when some of the top prospects are coming off of the board and committing to teams other than the Ducks, it’s understandable for some to get antsy.
We will hear more starting on Monday with Curtis and then a week later with Cantwell on the 13.
