Oregon Ducks still have 2 silent commitments image

The Oregon Ducks 2026 recruiting class has jumped from just inside the top-50 nationally to the top-10 class in less than a month.

That group took a big leap forward this week with the additions of five-star offensive tackle Immanuel Iheanacho and four-star defensive back Devin Jackson.

But the Ducks still aren't done.

On3's Hayes Fawcett, who makes commitment edits ahead of recruit's college announcements, has teased that Oregon still has two more pledges to come.

So, who could they be?

The top candidate is Panther Creek (Texas) four-star wide receiver Jalen Lott, who is expected to announce his college commitment Tuesday

The 6-foot, 180-pound pass-catcher is rated the nation's No. 49 overall prospect and No. 5 athlete and holds nearly 50 scholarship offers.

Why? 

As a junior, Lott hauled in 85 receptions for 1,111 yards and 16 touchdowns, but was also the USATF National Junior Olympics champion in the long jump.

While Lott seems to be the most likely candidate, pinning down a second commitment may prove tricky.

Oregon is in the mix for several prospects who could soon pull the trigger.

Here's a quick rundown: 

- Rocky Mountain (Idaho) high three-star offensive lineman Jax Tanner officially visited several schools since May 30, but Oregon is viewed as the leader over Boise State, BYU, Michigan and Tennessee.

- St. Frances Academy (Maryland) five-star safety Jireh Edwards is announcing his commitment Saturday, but Alabama is viewed as the clear favorite. 

- Oaks Christian (California) elite defensive back Davon Benjamin is viewed as an Oregon lean, but has not yet set a commitment date.

- McDonogh School (Maryland) four-star linebacker Nick Abrams II officially visited Alabama, Georgia, Michigan and Oregon and is set to announce his commitment July 16. The 6-foot-2, 215-pound 'backer has kept his thoughts very close to the vest and it is believed to be a tight race for his services. 

- Grayson (Georgia) five-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson has taken official visits to Clemson, Oregon, Georgia and Texas. The nation's No. 1 linebacker is viewed as an in-state Bulldogs lean, but his recruitment is tight. 

- St. Paul's Episcopal (Alabama) five-star edge-rusher Anthony "Tank" Jones announced a top three of Alabama, Oregon and Texas A&M on Thursday, but has not yet (publicly) set a commitment date and the Crimson Tide are the team-to-beat. 

- Collins Hill (Georgia) four-star defensive lineman Deuce Geralds sent out tweet Thursday expressing thanks for the recruiting process with photos of LSU, Michigan, Ole Miss and Oregon. The tweet seemed to imply he's close to a commitment.

- A wild card. While Oregon was certainly known to be pushing for former Cal commits Tommy Tofi and Koloi Keli, the fact that they both flipped to Oregon in the past week was a small surprise.

Could Oregon flip another key recruit or land a surprise?

It's certainly possible with Dan Lanning's program being this hot on the recruiting trail.
