Oregon Ducks Recruiting Class Rises to No. 1 Nationally in Key Stat
There's still months to go before the class of 2026 is officially able to sign National Letters of Intent and join the fold. So, looking at recruiting classes purely based on "who has the most points" often gives a staggering advantage to whoever has the most verbal commitments. A better way to evaluate a class months before Signing Day is to blend the traditional rankings and the "average rating per commit" - i.e. what is the average level of talent across each of a school's pledges? In the traditional numbers, USC has the No. 1 recruiting class so far this cycle, but the Trojans also boast 31 pledges - four more than No. 2 Georgia, and at least six more than every other program in the top 13. The Ducks sit at No. 9 in those rankings, but have just 14 commitments, fewer than half of USC's number. Which means that data doesn't tell the whole story.

Quack Quack!!! Oregon Ducks Land Commitment from 4-star WR Jalen Lott
On Tuesday, 4-star WR Jalen Lott announced his commitment to Oregon. Lott is rated as the No. 49 player and No. 5 ATH in the 2026 class, and he chose Lanning and his squad over the Texas Longhorns and USC Trojans. Lott stands at 6-foot, 175 pounds, and is considered one of the top pass-catchers in the class, and has been among Oregon's top prospects this cycle. https://duckswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/ducks/recruiting/2025/07/08/oregon-ducks-football-jalen-lott-commitment/84500803007/

Tommy Tofi commits to Oregon Ducks WWW.SPORTINGNEWS.COM Oregon adds one of the nation's top interior offensive linemen “Just their culture. I love what Coach Lanning built over there,” he previously told ScoopDuck of what’s driving his interest in Oregon. “Just from the ground up. In the span of four years, he’s sent many guys to the NFL, including Troy Franklin, my coach’s player. But I hope I could be that next player if I do decide to go to Oregon. I hope I could be that next player in line for Coach Lanning and Coach Terry.” QUAAACK: 2026 4-Star OL Tommy Tofi Commits to Oregon WWW.ON3.COM 2026 San Francisco (Calif.)

Quack Quack!! 4-star OL Tommy Tofi Announces Commitment to Oregon Ducks
On Monday, Tofi announced that he was decommitting from the Golden Bears and opening up his recruitment. Unsurprisingly, he then announced on Thursday that he was committing to the Ducks and joining the 2026 class in Eugene. This is a major win for the Ducks, who took a huge step in filling out their offensive line room in the cycle. The Ducks now have 12 players committed in the 2026 class, which is rated as the No. 15 best in the nation. There are a number of highly-rated players left on Oregon’s recruiting board set to commit in the near future, too, such as 5-star OT Immanuel Iheanacho, 4-star OT Kelvin Obot, 5-star LB Tyler Atkinson, 4-star CB Davon Benjamin, and many others. 4-star OL Tommy Tofi announces commitment to Oregon Ducks DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM 4-star offensive lineman Tommy Tofi announced his college commitment to the Oregon Ducks after decommitting from the California Golden Bears.

Quack Quack!! Oregon Flips California Commit and Three-Star IOL Koloi Keli to the Ducks’ 2026 Class
Scouting Report: Koloi Keli Scott Reed, June 30, 2025 I think all will enjoy reading this scouting report from Scott Reed, now his new home at Ducks Sport Central. He writes in part: "Koloi Keli might not turn heads immediately with eye-popping measurables, but once the tape rolls, it’s clear he’s one of the most physically dominant linemen in his class. At around 6-2 and 290 pounds, Keli has a naturally compact build that lends itself well to interior line play. His combination of foot speed, heavy hands, and nastiness stands out, and he brings a relentless attitude to every snap." "Keli’s recruiting profile may not match the star-studded metrics fans often obsess over, but he’s a “stock-up” prospect with a high ceiling. His blend of quick feet, strong hands, lateral agility, and finishing mentality makes him a true enforcer in the trenches. With continued development and a move inside, he could become a long-term starter and culture-setter for Oregon’s offensive line." further reading in this scouting report he also talks about Keli’s Run Blocking, Pass Protection, Technique and Tools, Physicality and Mentality, Projection.

2026 Recruitment, Announcements, Interviews, Etc. (7)
Tommy Tofi decommits; Oregon Ducks circling And there are significant rumblings that more help is on the way. On Monday, the first of those dominoes fell, as former California pledge and Farrington (Hawaii) three-star lineman Koloi Keli flipped to the Ducks. He may not be alone. Prediction: Tommy Tofi to Oregon Ducks Shortly after Keli's announcement, Archbishop Riordan (California) four-star offensive lineman Tommy Tofi, a powerful 6-6, 335 offensive tackle tweeted (deleted and re-posted) a decommitment from Cal. Tommy Tofi | Rivals.com N.RIVALS.COM Tommy Tofi - 2026 4 Star Offensive tackle for Riordan (San Francisco, CA) on Rivals.com That news comes roughly three weeks after the nation's No. 6 interior offensive lineman took an official visit to Eugene. After his early June surprise commitment to Cal, the rumblings began almost immediately that Dan Lanning's program would remain a big-time threat. That buzz continued into the weekend and gained significant steam - with the now-widely reported decommitment of Tofi as a potential nail in the coffin. All signs point to Tofi eventually committing to Oregon. Tommy Tofi decommits; Oregon Ducks circling WWW.SPORTINGNEWS.COM Oregon could soon snag an elite offensive lineman

House v. NCAA Settlement Payments on Hold Amid Legal Challenge from Female Athletes on Title IX Grounds
Meet Bryan Seeley, the man in charge of policing the new world of college sports The revenue share era of college sports has arrived. Paychecks from schools will start to land in players' bank accounts this week. The endorsement deals that the CSC will need to vet are already pouring in. As he attempts to run an organization responsible for bringing order to a chaotic industry, Seeley has a long to-do list: hire a staff, establish investigative processes, determine fair punishment standards and build relationships across hundreds of schools and dozens of sports. Seeley finished the previous week by returning his office equipment to Major League Baseball after a decade of rebuilding and overseeing their league investigations department, which handled high-profile issues such as gambling, sexual misconduct and sign-stealing scandals on his watch. At his new job he's back to square one, which means his top priority last Monday was scrolling through Wirecutter, a product recommendation website, for advice on buying a new laptop. "This is a startup," Seeley told ESPN during an interview at the end of his first day. "It's not like I'm walking into nothing, but in many ways this is a true start-up."
