Top Linebacker in Nation Makes Oregon Recruiting Decision on Wednesday

Oregon Ducks head coach Dan Lanning isn't quite having the success on the recruiting trail that he's seen in years past. 

Heading into June -- a pivotal month for Lanning -- Oregon ranks No. 29 in the nation for its 2026 recruiting class, according to 247Sports.

Landing a couple of pivotal five-star talents could shake up the 2026 class in a major way, however, and Lanning and the Ducks are pursuing quarterback Ryder Lyons and offensive tackle Immanuel Iheanacho.

The two five-stars would be major additions for Lanning's squad, though they aren't the only blue-chip prospects Oregon is aiming to land.

This weekend, the top athlete in the world, Brandon Arrington, will be in Eugene with Lanning and the Ducks' staff on an official visit, which he moved up to take sooner.

Another five-star talent will be joining Arrington in visiting, too, as Tyler Atkinson, the top linebacker in the 2026 recruiting class, will also be on an official visit with Oregon.

"Five-Star LB Tyler Atkinson will take an Official Visit to Oregon this weekend," Hayes Fawcett shared on X.
