Identifying the biggest winners and losers after Oregon Ducks sign record 2025 recruiting class

Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks are known for stealing the show and making history during the early signing period. In year one of the Lanning era, we saw the head coach light up a cigar for all of social media to see after flipping several of the top prospects in the nation to Eugene.

Last year, the Ducks signed the top-rated class in school history, bringing in a handful of 5-star recruits and a long list of blue chips. This year that again improved, signing the first class in school history to cross the coveted 300-point threshold.

We saw 5-star flips at the last second, and no outgoing flips from Oregon’s highly-coveted commits, which is everything you could ask for as a fan on signing day. In all, the Ducks signed 20 players on Wednesday and could end up adding a couple more before the Early Signing Period is over.

Let’s dive into the class and see if we can identify the biggest winners and losers from around Eugene.

It feels like you can pretty much guarantee that Dan Lanning is going to be listed as a winner after just about every National Signing Day going forward. He has been in charge of three full recruiting classes at Oregon, all three of which have been ranked inside the top 10 nationally. The last two classes have been ranked inside the top five, and the most recent one has the most 5-star players in school history.

When he came to Oregon, everyone knew that Lanning was regarded as an elite recruiter, but I’m not sure this was expected. Yet again, he’s proven to be as good, if not better than everyone else in the nation when it comes to talent acquisition.
