Braylon Hodge is a Rivals 4-Star, and the No. 9 ranked linebacker in the US. He is ranked the No. 1 player in Colorado, and was offered by Texas, Michigan, Iowa, and Missouri.

This moves Oregon up to No. 3 in the nation for the 2026 class.

Note we have the fewest commits in the top-9, and the best average.

Loving the quality over quantity approach. USC 34 commits? Sheesh.

As we have seen, this is like getting pinned and/or engaged to be engaged.

Although the Ducks seem to be able to keep more promisees than others.

Put all 34 on the D-side of the ball in South Bend, and the Domers would still rush for 500+ yards.

I still don't want to see USC anywhere near the top. As fun as it is to make poke at them, they are a sleeping giant.

Given the inexact science of recruiting, taking in that many will likely yield fruit. That's a lot of 4-stars, an it appears Georgia is taking the same approach.

Love seeing Oregon in the Top 5. Always a great place to be.

No worries, USC has so much room because of all the portal transfers out last year. I have all the confidence in a new wave leaving in a few months!
