Oregon secured its second consecutive top 10 recruiting class and is one addition away from the best class in program history.
Dan Lanning and his staff signed 26 players on Wednesday, 25 high school prospects and one junior college transfer, flipping a pair of top 100 receivers in Jeremiah McClellan and Ryan Pellum from Ohio State and USC, respectively, for one of the bigger hauls on national signing day.
The Ducks’ 2024 recruiting class, which entered the day No. 8 in the 247Sports Composite, moved up to as high as No. 4 and back to No. 6 as of 6 p.m. Wednesday. Should four-star defensive lineman Jericho Johnson sign on Thursday, it will move Oregon back to No. 5 with its highest ever score (288.04) in the modern recruiting rankings, narrowly topping the mark set by its 2021 class (287.67).
