Trey McNutt

Oregon is trending to land a premier safety in the 2025 recruiting class.

The Ducks are leading in the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM) for Shaker Heights (Ohio) five-star safety Trey McNutt with a 74.7% chance of landing his commitment.

On3’s Steve Wiltfong logged an expert prediction for McNutt to commit to Oregon, joining Oregon insiders Justin Hopkins and Max Torres.

Oregon has primarily battled Ohio State throughout McNutt’s recruitment, the Northeast Ohio native being a Buckeyes legacy.

McNutt took his official visit to Eugene in late June.

“I had a great time down here Eugene on my official visit,” McNutt told On3. “From the jump they came with the energy. I got off the plane and the whole staff was there. Everybody was there cheering, playing loud music, everything. Just came with energy the whole time. And really, I just had a great time.”

The 5-foot-11.5, 183-pound McNutt is the nation’s No. 22 overall prospect, No. 2 safety and No. 2 recruit from Ohio in the 2025 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies.

Trey McNutt Scouting Summary

On3’s Scouting and Rankings team writes this about McNutt as a prospect.

“Rangy safety prospect who has the ability come downhill and be force player in the run game, play center field as a single high safety, or match up in man to man in the slot. Tremendous versatility in the secondary at the next level and beyond. Physical and violent player, not afraid to stick his head into traffic and make plays around the line of scrimmage. Excellent burst and trigger out of his backpedal. Strong ability to read and diagnose what offenses are doing in front of him.

Need to see more from him in terms of ball production, but has excellent ball skills and ability to high point the football. Excellent upside with a frame that should be able to fill out with ease in a collegiate strength and conditioning program.”
