5-Star Recruit Jett Washington Commits To Oregon Ducks Over Alabama, USC Trojans

The reigning Big Ten Champion Oregon Ducks have had a strong secondary the last few seasons and look to keep the momentum going with an influx of new talent in Eugene.

Washington was awarded the MaxPreps Gorman Player of the Year, recording 38 tackles, five interceptions, and one forced fumble.

Washington is Oregon's ninth commitment to their class of 2026, which is ranked No. 9 in the nation and No. 3 in the Big Ten, per On3.

Joining Washington is fellow five-star tight end Kendre Harrison.

Oregon has five defensive commits including four-star defensive lineman Tony Cumberland, four-star linebacker Tristan Phillips, and four-star safety Xavier Lherisse.

Washington spoke to On3 about his decision.

“Oregon has what I am looking for,” Washington told On3. “My relationships with the coaches are strong, coach Lanning is a defensive-minded head coach, I love the whole environment and Oregon sets their guys up for life after football. Just the fit at Oregon is right for me.... Coach Lanning is a great coach and Oregon is a top program. I love the fit and I know Oregon will develop me and set me up.”
