Oregon Ducks Battling Ohio State For Five-Star Defensive Lineman Recruit

Rivals Recruiting Insider predicts Oregon lands WR Dakota Guerrant

Few names will be as familiar for Oregon fans following recruiting as Michigan native Dakota Guerrant. The Ducks have been heavily involved in recruiting Guerrant, and according to insiders like Steve Wiltfong of Rivals, he's even Oregon's most sought after recruit regardless of position.

"This young man is at the top of their board regardless of position, Dakota Guerrant out of Michigan."

Steve Wiltfong

On Thursday, the Ducks pursuit of their top ranked recruiting target got even more promising as Rivals' Greg Smith logged a prediction for the Ducks to win out for the commitment. The prediction by Smith comes 4 months after Rivals' Insider Steve Wiltfong also predicted Oregon would land the commitment.

Xavier Sabb - 5 Star - Glassboro, NJ - Oregon Ducks

Alabama seemingly has a major advantage in the recruitment of Xavier Sabb as his two older brothers are both playing for the Crimson Tide. While Alabama has all the family ties, Oregon has truly made this a battle on the recruiting trail to watch moving forward. Given how Oregon's recruiting board has shaken out, it's going to be hard for any school to deny Dan Lanning for the 5-star.

Dakota Guerrant - 4 Star - Harper Woods, MI - Oregon Ducks

Michigan Native Dakota Guerrant has been the Oregon Ducks top target regardless of position in this recruiting cycle. Coming down the stretch, Michigan will make it tough on the Ducks to land a commitment, but the level to which Oregon has recruited Guerrant will make them tough to deny. The Ducks hold a commitment from 5-star QB Will Mencl which should only be more appealing to wide receiver recruits.

Oregon Ducks set for loaded first weekend of 2027 official visits

One of the most important times of the offseason has finally arrived for the Oregon Ducks. The recruiting trail really heats up in the final weeks of spring before many of the top available players commit to programs in the summer.

The Ducks will host their first batch of official visits this weekend. Top recruits from across the country will be in for the entire weekend, starting on May 29, and get a peek at what it's like to play for the Ducks. Many of these recruits have already taken an unofficial visit to Eugene, but this is really Oregon's last chance to sway some of its favorite prospects in the 2027 class.

Here's a look at which recruits will be in Eugene this weekend, as well as where they rank in the Rivals Industry Ranking.

Oregon closes in on destructive defensive tackle from the city of big shoulders

In the first clip of his HUDL junior highlights, 6-3, 305 defensive tackle Brayden Parks evades a blocker with a swim move, demolishes an outside zone read play at the mesh. In the second he lines up at nose, so quick to the quarterback that the center doesn't lay a hand on him.

Parks is strong, beastly strong like Derrick Harmon or A'Mauri Washington, creating inside pressure with quickness and tenacity. He has good feet, too, keeping them moving as he works through the pass protection with the agility of an edge rusher. He blows things up. His ability to get off a block and accelerate is phenomenal, as fast as anyone on the field in the first ten yards.

A four-star prospect in the 2027 class, Parks makes his official visit to Oregon on June 19th. He's at Ohio State this weekend and Notre Dame on June 12, his three finalists.

Recruiting analyst Brian Smith told Spencer McLaughlin of Locked on Ducks, "Oregon's trending. People around Notre Dame think he would pick Oregon right now. That's how powerful Oregon's recruiting machine is. And it doesn't really stop there."

Oregon OL target Ismael Camara cancels summer official visit schedule

Oregon will no longer host Top247 offensive lineman Ismael Camara for an official visit this summer, but the Ducks remain a key team to watch.

Oregon will not get its scheduled summer official visit from one of its top offensive line targets in the 2027 recruiting class.

247Sports four-star interior offensive lineman Ismael Camara announced on social media that he will no longer take any official visits this summer, a decision that wipes out a planned June 19 trip to Eugene. Camara had also been scheduled to officially visit Texas A&M on May 29, LSU on June 5 and Texas on June 12. He was previously expected to visit SMU on May 1, but did not make that trip.

Camara said the decision was tied to his academic timeline, his goal of early enrolling in 2027 and his desire to remain with his Gilmer High School teammates through summer workouts.

In-state recruit sets Oregon visit following decommitment from Arkansas

It's always a good idea to try to keep your state's best products close to home. While the Oregon Ducks have continued to recruit nationally in the 2027 cycle, earning commitments from players in 11 states, they have made a greater effort to keep Oregon's top high school talent in the Pacific Northwest.

The Ducks made that clear by offering three-star tight end George VanSandt back on May 7. Just a few weeks later, the Central Catholic star is reopening his recruitment. On Wednesday, VanSandt announced his decommitment from Arkansas and scheduled an official visit to Oregon for June 5.

VanSandt committed to the Razorbacks in April and was supposed to be in Fayetteville for an official visit this weekend. Now, those plans have been called off.

Oregon QB commit Will Mencl is doing Dan Lanning a major recruiting favor

The Oregon Ducks are enjoying the first big weekend on the recruiting trail as the first group of official visits are underway. Several Oregon commits return to campus to help the staff recruit as they try to build up the class. While Oregon has a strong group of commits on campus, missing from the group is 5-star QB Will Mencl.

Will Mencl is currently at the Elite 11 finals competing against a handful of other QBs in this cycle for the title of the best quarterback recruit in the class. Just because the Ducks' headline commit isn't in Eugene doesn't mean that he's not putting in work for Dan Lanning on the recruiting trail.

Will Mencl calls out the WRs he's recruiting to Oregon

As some of the top QBs arrive for the Elite 11 finals, they gave interviews to 24/7 Sports including Will Mencl. While Oregon doesn't currently have a wide receiver commitment, Will Mencl is looking to change that as he declared that Oregon is pushing hard for several top wide receiver recruits.

Thus far, Oregon already holds a commitment from a running back in CaDarius McMiller who ranks 172nd in the country and as the 10th best running back in the class. If Oregon only added McMiller it would be a nice haul at running back, but Dan Lanning and the staff are pushing for more.

The biggest running back target for the Oregon Ducks remains Texas Native, Landen Williams-Callis. Coming out of the weekend, it should be clear where Oregon lands with the 4-star recruit as he took his official visit to Eugene for the weekend.

Photos, reactions from blue-chip recruits on OVs for Oregon Ducks

The official visit season started in the college football recruiting world over the weekend, and the Oregon Ducks kicked things off in style.

There was a long list of elite prospects in town to check out the program that Dan Lanning has built, including a number of 5-stars, and several prospects who have already committed to Oregon. At the moment, the Ducks have the No. 15 class in the cycle, but they are thought to lead or be in serious contention for a number of the best players in the nation.

Over the next few weeks, expect the class ranking to greatly improve.

Over the last several days, we've seen glowing reviews come from players on social media, and a number of looks at photoshoots from the visits. Here are some of the top reactions we saw:

Getting Dakota Guerrant on campus this weekend is great timing for the Ducks, even if Will Mencl won't be on campus. Having Guerrant headline a weekend will make it clear how he's a top priority, rather than a weekend where the staff is trying to push for several 4-star and 5-star recruits. Add in that Oregon's carrying momentum from last weekend, and it should be easy to make an impression.

Will Mencl was just out at the Elite 11 finals talking about how much he wants Guerrant to commit to the Ducks and that message should still resonate.

Why Xavier Sabb is the most Oregon recruit in a class of elite prospects

Elite athleticism and body types dominate the Oregon commitment list. Even the three-star "under-the-radar" athletes Dan Lanning and the Duck coaching staff have selected-- players like Malachi Garlington and Achilles Reyna-- are football/basketball stars who can jump over a pool table.

Xavier Sabb, the five-star wide receiver from Glassboro, New Jersey, may be the most athletic of them all.

The younger brother of Alabama stars Keon and Amari Sabb, Xavier runs a 10.6 100 meters and logged a 42-inch vertical jump in testing. He averages 21 points per game in basketball and he's been clocked at 21 mph on the GPS.

He's an Under Armour and Max Preps All-American, the No. 31 prospect in the country and No. 3 athlete according to the 247Sports Composite, a two-way player who stars at wide receiver and safety.

He visits Oregon on June 19 and 2027 quarterback commit Will Mencl has already singled him out, placing him at the top of his personal wish list. At the Elite 11 Finals Mencl said, "We want Dakota Guerrant, we want Xavier Sabb, we want Blake Wong, we want Bode Sparrow. In the 2028 class we really want Braylon Clark - just to name a few."

Oregon set for massive recruiting weekend as official visits continue

Here's a look at which recruits are expected to be in Eugene this weekend, as well as where they rank in the Rivals Industry Ranking.

• 5-star DL Marcus Fakatou (No. 31)

• 5-star CB Hayden Stepp (No. 40)

• 4-star WR Blake Wong (No. 263)

• 4-star Ot Cameron Wagner (No. 293) (Oregon commit)

• 4-star IOL Gus Corsair (No. 313) (Oregon commit)

• 3-star TE Colton Johnson (No. 615)

• 3-star EDGE Josh Christensen (No. 1,044)

It will be beneficial for the Ducks to get Gus Corsair and Cameron Wagner back on campus to lock in their commitments to the program. Corsair and Wagner both committed within days of each other in May and are the two highest-rated offensive linemen in Oregon’s class.

The big visitors this weekend are five-star defensive lineman Marcus Fakatou and five-star corner Hayden Stepp. The Ducks have some work to do in the race for both.
