The Oregon Ducks already have a total of three 5-star players committed in the 2026 class, and they’re looking to add one or two more before all is said and done.
One of those players, 5-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson, made a recruiting announcement on Wednesday, cutting his list down to four schools and including the Ducks in the mix. Oregon was listed alongside the Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns, and Clemson Tigers.
Atkinson is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 9 player in the 2026 class and the No. 1 linebacker in the nation. He has been to Eugene a couple of times on visits and has hosted Oregon’s coaches on in-home visits as well.
While the hometown Bulldogs are viewed as the leader in Atkinson’s recruitment, Oregon is still in the mix and pushing to land the elite player. No commitment date has been set as of yet, but Atkinson’s commitment could come in the next few weeks.
