Texas Longhorns 5-Star Target Decommits from Oregon Ducks

Wesley's father Johnathan Wesley told Rivals shortly after his original commitment to Oregon that his son's verbal pledge to the Ducks had not been finalized yet.

“We don’t have anything set in stone with Oregon as far as the full package," Johnathan Wesley told Rivals. "As far as we’re concerned, we like Oregon a lot. But there is still some fine-tuning that we need to do. ... Ultimately, when I talked to him, he didn’t tell me to shut the recruiting down and he’s still very much open and interested in other places. This definitely isn’t a final decision because there’s a lot to be finalized.”

If Wesley ends up committing to Texas, he'd join a 2026 Longhorns recruiting class that features five-stars like quarterback Dia Bell, athlete Jermaine Bishop Jr. and long snapper Trott O'Neal along with three-star talents like wide receiver Chris Stewart, cornerback Hayward Howard Jr. offensive tackle Max Wright and offensive lineman Nicolas Robertson.

Here's what 247Sports national recruiting analyst Greg Biggins had to say on Wesley's scouting report.

"Shows off natural pass rush ability and can dominate the run game as well. Flashes a quick get-off, uses his hands well and can bend, dip and explode off the corner," Biggins wrote. "Strong at the point of attack and shows off a nice physical edge in his game. Loves the weight room and has the multi-sport background we like to see in an edge rusher as well. When you combine his size, natural athleticism, motor and work ethic, his ceiling is as high as any player out West."
