A flurry of 2026 commitments sees Oregon rise to No. 1 in the On3 Recruiting Rankings

Oregon is off and running in the 2026 recruiting cycle. Dan Lanning and the Ducks sit atop the On3 Industry Recruiting Standings.

The latest to join the fold was Bellflower (Calif.) St. John Bosco edge Dutch Horisk, who announced his pledge to Lanning and company on Saturday.

“What made me want to shut it down is their commitment and belief in my ability to do what I do at the highest level,” Horisk said.

The 6-foot-3, 240-pound Horisk chose to play his college football in Eugene over opportunities from the likes of USC, Penn State, Oklahoma, Miami, Texas A&M, Utah and Tennessee among others.

“They feel bought into me and I am bought into them,” Horisk said. “They have shown me the most love and made me feel like family above everything else.

“And they are what I feel to be the future of college football. They have all the things in place for me to get to my ultimate goal of being a first round draft pick. 

“I love the coaching above all. They have the most knowledge as a staff and experience I’ve ever seen before. They know what it takes and know how to help me achieve my dreams.”

Horisk visited Oregon at the end of July for the Saturday Night Live camp.

“The environment was amazing,” Horsick said following the trip. “It was different. The way I can develop as a man and player here is unbelievable. Coach Lanning, Coach Tosh and Coach Kam, I believe they can develop me into a first round draft pick.”

Horisk part of a wave of Oregon commitments

Horisk was the second commitment of the week for Oregon out the powerhouse Trinity League. He joins the nation’s No. 5 offensive tackle Kodi Greene out of rival Mater Dei.

Greene is one of four Top100 prospects in the fold for the Ducks alongside defensive lineman Tony Cumberland, running back Tradarian Ball and quarterback Jonas Williams.  Ball committed during the Saturday Night Live event and Williams did a few days after returning from home.

“Oregon has been my dream school for awhile,” Williams said at the time. “A lot of people talk highly of Oregon and it definitely lived up to that standard.”

Oregon is definitely recruiting to an incredible standard. They signed the No. 3 class per the On3 Industry in 2024. They sit at No. 5 in 2025. Nobody is off to a faster start in 2026. 

As a sophomore Horisk racked up 85 tackles including 11.5 sacks, 10 more stops for loss and five passes broken up. The On3 Industry tabs him as the nation’s No. 28 edge rusher.
