EUGENE — The Oregon Ducks have been working to extend their recruiting dominance into the class of 2026.
Although the Ducks saw a rough month marked by the loss of several key prospects, Oregon coach Dan Lanning and his staff are working to turn things around, and a big commitment is set to take place Tuesday.
The No. 1 prospect in the 2026 recruiting cycle, offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell, is set to commit on May 13 and will decide between Miami, Ohio State, Georgia, and the Oregon Ducks.
Oregon’s biggest threat in Cantwell’scommitment is none other than the Georgia Bulldogs, who have been aggressively recruiting the five-star lineman.
Cantwell was in Athens over the weekend visiting the Bulldogs one last time ahead of announcing his commitment the following Tuesday. It’s not just Georgia head coach Kirby Smart and his staff recruiting Cantwell, Georgia commit Jared Curtis also appears to be working on getting Cantwell to Athens.
Cantwell posted a picture of himself with five-star quarterback Curtis, both in Georgia gear, to his social media. Much like Cantwell, Curtis also had both Georgia and Oregon among his finalists but ultimately chose Georgia, marking a big loss for the Ducks.
