All focus over the past few weeks has been on the 2026 recruiting class for the Oregon Ducks, but behind the scenes, Dan Lanning and his staff have quietly been making a strong push down the road as well.
Earlier this week, Rivals’ recruiting director Adam Gorney gave a breakdown on the recruitment for some of the top players in the 2027 class, and he stated that the Ducks are the “team to beat” for 4-star defensive tackle Kasi Currie, who stands at 6-foot-5, 315 pounds. As a California native from Sierra Canyon, Oregon has been an early name to watch in the recruitment for Currie, who the 247Sports Composite rates as the No. 156 player in the class, and No. 13 defensive lineman.
“Emerging as one of the top 2027 defensive tackles nationally, Oregon has a big early edge for the Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon standout as he’s loved his trips to Eugene and will be back on June 1,” Gorney wrote.
While it is still early in his recruitment, and offers continue to pour in for the fast-rising sophomore, Lanning and his team have put themselves in a good position early on. They will have to battle some other big names down the stretch, though.
“Texas A&M, Tennessee, and USC are three others to watch, and LSU just offered on Tuesday,” Gorney said. “But Oregon is definitely the team to beat.”
Currie was on campus in Eugene for the Ducks’ spring game, and he plans to return on June 1 later this summer.
The Ducks don’t have any commitments in the 2027 class, but Currie would be a great player to kick things off should he give his verbal in the coming months.
