Oregon Football picks up another prediction to land 5-star OT Immanuel Iheanacho

 

The writing has been on the wall for the Ducks to land the 5-star OT, and another recruiting prediction — this time from On3's Charles Simmons — strengthens the case.

 

On Thursday night, Simmons logged an RPM for Iheanacho on On3 with a confidence level of 60. This bumped Oregon up to an overwhelming 90.7% favorite on the site, ahead of schools like Penn State, Auburn, and LSU. Over on 247Sports, there are three Crystal Ball predictions for Iheanacho, all in favor of the Ducks.

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 - 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.

Dan Lanning Receives Huge Update on 4-star Tyler Atkinson...

Dan Lanning would be eagerly waiting for Tyler Atkinson's commitment to know where the 4-star recruit is going.

Tyler Atkinson chosen Texas as the school he will be attending.

Five-Star LB Tyler Atkinson could be Dan Lanning’s biggest recruiting win yet

Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks have been rolling on the recruiting trail this offseason, and they might not be done just yet. 

With two five-star recruits already committed for the class of 2026, Oregon now has its sights set on linebacker Tyler Atkinson—one of the top prospects in the country. According to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals and On3, Atkinson will announce his decision live on The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, July 15. 

Most signs point to Georgia as the favorite, but don’t count out the Ducks. They’re already sitting at No. 12 in 247Sports’ recruiting rankings for 2026, and landing Atkinson would send them surging even higher.

If he picks the Ducks, Atkinson would become the highest-rated player in the Ducks’ class—just ahead of five-star safety Jett Washington, who’s ranked No. 18 nationally. Landing both would give Lanning a serious boost on the defensive side of the ball, and a foundation to chase something bigger.

That kind of momentum on defense would be hard to ignore. For a program that’s consistently been in the mix but still searching for its first national title, stacking elite talent like this is how that next step gets taken.

Elite Recruit Davon Benjamin Reveals Finalists, Sets Commitment Date

Four-star safety recruit Davon Benjamin has revealed the final five programs in his recruitment: the Oregon Ducks, Michigan Wolverines, Texas Longhorns, Washington Huskies, and North Carolina Tar Heels. The elite recruit has also scheduled a commitment date.

He recently took three official visits, starting with Oregon in Eugene on June 13, Texas in Austin on June 6, and Michigan in Ann Arbor on May 31.

“Really was just trying to, for the last time, let’s see if this is really the spot that I could see myself in, or another position. Get up there, just get the last feel for it, because this is the last official visit of my lifetime. Just getting up there one more time, see the school that’s been there from the start. Once I got up there and saw what I needed to see, it was all good.”

- Davon Benjamin on Oregon via On3

Oregon co-defensive coordinator Chris Hampton has been Benjamin's primary recruiter for the 5-11.5, 170-pound defensive back, along with the help of coach Dan Lanning and running backs coach Rashad Wadood.

“It’s really good to be honest. I talked to Dan (Lanning), (Rashad) Wadood, the other day. Pretty much, they treat me like little bro up there. Since Wadood’s been there, he’s watched me ever since I was a little kid, having him in the background and having coach Tosh (Lupoi) and coach Dan at the head positions really just leading."

One of the top targets left on the board for the Oregon Ducks' 2026 recruiting class, four-star defensive back Davon Benjamin, is set to announce his commitment on August 2. Benjamin is down to the Ducks and Michigan Wolverines.

"Davon Benjamin, the state's top available player, plans to reveal his college commitment Aug. 2, and it's looking like a battle between Oregon and Michigan entering the final stretch. Benjamin mentioned Texas and Washington as well and said that there is continued dialogue with coaches for both teams but admitted that he's got the Ducks and Wolverines spearheading the list of finalists," Angulo said.

The No. 5 safety and No. 35 player in the country according to 247Sports Composite rankings, Benjamin took four official visits, including one to Oregon on June 13. Benjamin has a Crystal Ball prediction in favor of the Ducks from the 247Sports Staff Projection. Oregon has a 94 percent chance of landing Benjamin according to On3's Recruiting Prediction Machine.
