Oregon Duck fans were expecting some recruiting fireworks over the 4th of July weekend, but it appears they may be coming before the holiday starts.
On Thursday morning, Dan Lanning’s Ducks got a pair of significant commitments, kicked off by the addition of 4-star safety Devin Jackson, the No. 213 player in the 2026 class, and the No. 18 safety.
Standing at 6-foot-2, 195 pounds, Jackson is a rangy safety who is expected to play deep or in the slot at the college level, which gives the Ducks some nice versatility in the 2026 class, seeing as they don’t yet have a cornerback committed.
After the addition of Jackson, 5-star OT Immanuel Iheanacho announced his commitment to Oregon on ESPN’s “Pat McAfee Show,” choosing the Ducks over Penn State, Maryland, and Auburn.
Iheanacho is rated as the No. 8 overall player in the class, per the 247Sports Composite.
At 6-foot-6, 345 pounds, Iheanacho is a prototypical OT with a high upside going forward, giving the Ducks their next elite LT prospect following in the wake of Josh Conerly Jr., who was selected in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft by the Washington Commanders earlier this year.
With the addition of these two players, the Ducks made a significant move in the 2026 recruiting rankings, jumping into the top 10 once again. The Ducks had the No. 17 class coming into the day after adding 4-star IOL Tommy Tofi on Wednesday, but now they sit at No. 10, jumping over the likes of Florida State, Penn State, LSU, Texas, and Tennessee.
There are a couple of other major prospects remaining on the Ducks’ recruiting board who will announce in the next couple of weeks, but this was a massive win for Oregon to kick off July.
