Dan Lanning and his staff continue to add to a 2024 class that is shaping up to be one of the best in the nation.
On Tuesday, Lanning and Oregon landed a commitment from 4-star linebacker Kamar Mothudi. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Los Alamitos (Calif.) standout is the No. 246 overall prospect in the ’24 class and the No. 25 linebacker, according to the On3 Industry Ranking.
**Next Five to Commit to Oregon**
Following Mothudi’s announcement, the Ducks now boast 20 commits in the 2024 class. They began the week at No. 10 in the On3 Industry Team Rankings, but have now leapfrogged Notre Dame and sit at No. 9 with a score of 90.98.
Oregon narrowly trails Penn State 91.022 for the No. 8 spot.
USC (No. 6, 91.456) is the only Pac-12 school currently ranked ahead of the Ducks, according to the On3 Industry Ranking. Stanford (No. 19, 88.930) is the only other program from that conference currently listed inside the top-25.
During the 2023 cycle, Oregon finished with a class that was the eighth-best in the nation, according to the On3 Industry Ranking.
More on the On3 Industry Ranking
The On3 Industry Ranking is a proprietary algorithm that compiles ratings and rankings from all four primary recruiting media services. The On3 Industry Ranking is the industry’s most advanced, complete and unbiased measurement.
The On3 Industry Ranking weights the primary recruiting media services based on past performance data, and overall scouting and recruiting coverage investment.
For football, the algorithm is weighted as follows: On3 (35%), 247Sports (35%), Rivals.com (20%) and ESPN (10%).
For basketball, the algorithm equally weights On3, 247Sports, Rivals.com and ESPN at 25%.
The On3 Industry Rating and Ranking increases the total number of 5-stars and 4-stars seven times throughout the recruiting cycle, concluding with 32 5-stars for football and 20 for basketball. This solves for the problem of awarding 5-star ratings too early in the recruiting process to meet predefined quotas. With each passing month in the cycle, scouts in the industry have more data, information and scouting opportunities to evaluate better and project prospects. This process is referenced by the Industry “Strength” meter in the database. Listed below is the football star ranking update schedule:
