Heading into the Big Ten Conference with College Football Playoff expectations, the Oregon Ducks are looking to continue their success on the recruiting trail against the likes of Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan and others.
The Oregon Ducks 2025 recruiting class took a hit as four-star defensive lineman Josiah Sharma flipped to the Texas Longhorns. While that creates a drop in the overall ranking, the class is still strong.
The Oregon Ducks football program had a solid finish to its Pac-12 Conference era.
The Ducks had a Heisman Trophy finalist and won the Fiesta Bowl. Now off to the Big Ten Conference, that success has continued in the offseason on the recruiting trail. Oregon holds commitments from some of the top talent in the country, who chose the Ducks over the likes of Alabama, Ohio State and Michigan.
Oregon’s 2025 recruiting class is currently ranked No. 6 nationally (247Sports) and No. 2 in the Big Ten, trailing just Ohio State, according to 247Sports. Ahead of the Ducks nationally is Alabama (2) and Georgia (3), LSU (4), and Notre Dame (5), with Texas A&M (7) just behind.
Here are the recruits that have given their commitments to Oregon, with star rankings from the 247Sports Composite.

As the son of former Ducks legend Akili Smith Sr., four-star Oregon quarterback commit Akili Smith Jr. will have a lot to live up to by the time he steps foot on campus in Eugene. The 6-foot-5, 233-pound gunslinger is fresh off a solid performance at Elite 11 in Los Angeles, facing off with 19 other top quarterback recruits from across the country, including five-stars Julian Lewis, Husan Longstreet, Tavien St. Clair, and Matt Zollers.
Smith Jr. has been a big advocate for the Ducks program, as he works on recruiting top talent to join him in Eugene.
“We always recruit,” said Oregon coach Dan Lanning during the Ducks’ spring practices. “It doesn’t ever feel like we’re not recruiting. We are going to get some opportunities for our coaches to go on the road and see some people in person, get to be around guys that we want to target, and find some guys that we probably don’t know about. You’re always looking for ways to improve your roster and that’s what we’ll be able to do the next couple of weeks.”
