Bellevue (Wash.) three-star interior offensive lineman Demetri Manning has committed to Oregon, he tells On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

The 6-foot-5.5, 345-pounder chose the Ducks over UCLA, Washington and Miami.

Manning is the No. 648 overall prospect and No. 54 IOL in the 2025 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He’s also the No. 5 player in Washington.

“It’s always been my dream since I was younger. When you stick to the process, you will live your dreams. Let’s Go Ducks,” Manning told Fawcett.

Manning was back in Eugene over the weekend for his official visit. He becomes the second offensive lineman to pledge to Dan Lanning, A’lique Terry and Co. this week, as Tampa Sumner four-star offensive tackle Ziyare Addison, a top-200 prospect, announced his pledge on Monday.

Ducks beef up top-10 recruiting class

With the additions of Addison and Manning, Oregon’s 2025 recruiting class now features nine commits and ranks No. 8 in the nation, according to the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings.

Headlining the class is Tampa Bay Tech five-star wide receiver Dallas Wilson, the No. 26 overall prospect and No. 5 wideout in the cycle. He’s one of three blue-chip receivers in the class, alongside Lee’s Summit (Mo.) North four-star Isaiah Mozee and Scottsdale (Ariz.) Notre Dame Prep four-star Cooper Perry.

San Diego Lincoln four-star quarterback pledge Akili Smith Jr. has continued to rise ahead of his senior season and is now a top-10 signal-caller and the No. 101 recruit overall. Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei four-star linebacker Nasir Wyatt is right behind Smith at No. 102 overall. Both are top-10 players in California.

Belleville (Ill.) Althoff Catholic four-star athlete Dierre Hill is a top-200 recruit and committed to the Ducks on May 10 as a top running back target. He and Concord (Calif.) De La Salle four-star defensive lineman Matthew Johnson help round out the class. Eight of the nine commits in the class rank inside the top 300 nationally.
