NJDuck Author Moderator No. 10 Share Posted June 12 Oregon football extends new offer to 2026 Boise State QB commit The Oregon Ducks extended an intriguing scholarship offer on Wednesday, reaching out to 3-star quarterback Bryson Beaver, from Murrieta, California. He stands at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds. This offer is worth noting because of where the Ducks currently stand in the quarterback recruiting landscape. Earlier this spring, they lost the Jared Curtis sweepstakes, with the 5-star passer committing to the Georgia Bulldogs. They are currently projected to land 5-star QB Ryder Lyons, but there has been some buzz recently that the BYU Cougars are willing to pay him inordinate sums of money to get him to commit. If that is the case, then the Ducks' offering another QB in the class makes a bit of sense. Regardless, they still could feel good about where they stand with Lyons but are just covering their bases with another talented and rising QB prospect.

NJDuck Author Moderator No. 25 Share Posted June 17 4-star QB Bryson Beaver to take official visit to Oregon Ducks this weekend Few recruits in the 2026 class have had as big of a whirlwind of a week as 4-star quarterback Bryson Beaver. After being a 3-star commit for the Boise State Broncos less than a week ago, Beaver received an offer from the Oregon Ducks and saw his recruitment quickly take off. Since, he's been bumped up to a 4-star by On3, received a pair of SEC offers, and visited both the Ole Miss Rebels and Alabama Crimson Tide. Now it appears that he is set to take an official visit to the Ducks this coming weekend, where Dan Lanning and crew will work to remind him who kicked off the recruiting whirlwind. 4-star QB Bryson Beaver to take official visit to Oregon Ducks this weekend DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM The Oregon Ducks are expected to host fast-rising 4-star quarterback Bryson Beaver on an official visit this coming weekend. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDuck Author Moderator No. 26 Share Posted June 17 Alabama Crimson Tide recruiting news bodes well for Oregon Football More news emerged on Tuesday morning, likely giving Oregon a sense of confidence about its standing with the No. 19 quarterback in the 2026 class, according to On3. That news pertains to Alabama and their quarterback recruiting. According to Hayes Fawcett, the Crimson Tide flipped Iowa State 4-star QB Jett Thomalla, adding him to the Crimson Tide's 2026 class. While it's not definite, this seems like an indication that Alabama is no longer looking to bring in Beaver as well, despite having him on campus this past weekend for a visit. The tea leaves suggest that Kalen DeBoer and his staff might have seen that they were unlikely to land Beaver, so they picked up another QB and added him to the class.

Jon Joseph Moderator No. 44 Share Posted June 26 Thank you, Steven, Eh? Sorry, I still have Lord Stanley's Cup on (what's left of) my mind. RIVALS 2026 current rankings - 2026 all-teams football recruiting team rankings N.RIVALS.COM 2026 all-teams football recruiting team rankings by Rivals.com Rivals has OBD with 10 'commits' ranked 26th with an average recruit ranking of 3.9. The B1G, with five teams in the top 10 and nine in the top 25, is a good sign. I'll bet dollars to donuts Oregon will finish not just in the top 25, but in the top 10. All of the other ranked B1G teams have at least 15 'commitments.' USC has 30. Only Ohio State, with 17 'commits' and a 4.06 average, has a better B1G average than OBD's 3.9. The only other team with a better average is LSU at 4.02. TOSU has the best average ranking of the top 25 teams. How about Illinois and UCLA in the top 10? Looks like UCLA's Foster is not a Chip off the old Bruins recruiting block. To date, SC wins the quantity but not the quality battle. What we don't know are a program's total and average per player, revenue-sharing, and NIL deal expenditures. Stay Frosty. Miles to go before 2026 recruiting sleeps.
