Oregon 5-star TE commit Kendre Harrison shuts down recruitment

Reidsville (N.C.) five-star tight end Kendre Harrison committed to Oregon on Nov. 30. Less than three months later, he tells On3’s Hayes Fawcett that his recruitment is now shut down.

The elite Ducks commit chose Dan Lanning and Co. over North Carolina, Florida State, Miami, Tennessee and Penn State. While Harrison hasn’t hinted at keeping his options open since, he reaffirmed things on Thursday.

“What’s understood don’t have to be explained, I’m HOME…SCO DUCKS,” Harrison told Fawcett.

“I’m still getting recruited by schools here and there, but I’m not really one of those guys that de-commits. I know I’m 100-percent locked in with Oregon and that ain’t nothing gonna change my decision,” He previously told Scoop Duck.

Harrison is the No. 16 overall prospect and top-ranked TE in the 2026 cycle, according to the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. As a four-star basketball prospect, he ranks No. 56 overall and No. 8 at the power forward position.

The 6-foot-6, 250-pounder is currently one of nine commits in Oregon’s 2026 class, which ranks No. 2 in the nation, according to the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Rankings. He’s one of five top-200 recruits in the mix for the Ducks.

“Oregon is an amazing place,” Harrison has told On3. “Oregon is the total package. I chose Oregon because of their player development, the coaching I will get there, the culture and the place. I like Eugene a lot.”

Kendre Harrison Scouting Summary

On3 writes this of Harrison as a prospect:

“Freakish two-sport athlete who is one of the most physically imposing prospects in the nation, regardless of class. A true ‘first off the bus’ type. Listed at 6-foot-7, 230 pounds. Plays both tight end and defensive end for his high school team. Moves like a much smaller player. Runs well and shows the ability to separate from linebackers. Has considerable mismatch ability as a pass catcher. Does not lumber unlike many players of his size. Also flashes intriguing upside as a pass rusher on defense. Doubles as a national basketball prospect with high major offers. Averaged over 21 points and 15 rebounds per game as a high school freshman on the hardwood. Has genuine positional ambiguity at this stage in his evaluation, but owns one of the higher physical upsides in the 2026 cycle early on.”
