With National Signing Day officially in the rearview mirror, the recruiting classes for the 2025 college football incoming freshman are finalized. Much like it has been since the early signing period in December, Oregon doesn't come in with the most recruits, but they made their approach perfectly clear — they were after quality, not quantity. 

Oregon finished with the highest percentage of blue chip recruits, meaning recruits that were graded with at least a 4-star grade, of any school in the country. Every one of the incoming players will have an opportunity to be an impact player for the Ducks for years to come. 

The next closest teams behind Oregon were teams that are powerhouses year-in, year-out, like Georgia and Alabama. 

Under Dan Lanning, aided by a move to the Big Ten, Oregon's impact on the national stage has grown tremendously. Oregon is now pulling players out of SEC country, like landing the No. 1 wide receiver in the country, Dakorien Moore, out of Texas. They have multiple players from Texas, Alabama, California, and have made it clear that they're going after the top talent in the country, no matter where they're from. 

As of now, Oregon has the top-ranked 2026 recruiting class according to On3, highlighted by the nation's top tight end, Kendre Harrison, out of North Carolina. Kodi Greene, a top offensive linemen prospect, plays down at powerhouse Mater Dei in Santa Ana, CA. Tradarian Ball, one of the best running backs in the country, seems fully locked in with Oregon despite living in Texas. The Ducks are recruiting among the best in the country, with Lanning building his image of what the Ducks should look like. 2025 is set to be another exciting year for Oregon.
