In a significant development on the college football recruiting front, Brandon Arrington, the top-ranked athlete (ATH) in the 2026 class, has named Oregon as a top contender in his recruitment. The versatile prospect has scheduled his first official visit to Eugene, signaling serious interest in the Ducks’ football program.
“Oregon could be one of those schools on top of my list,” Arrington told reporters, highlighting his admiration for the program’s culture, facilities, and coaching staff. Known for his explosive athleticism and ability to excel at multiple positions, Arrington has drawn offers from virtually every top-tier program in the nation. However, his recent comments suggest Oregon is emerging as a strong favorite.
The Ducks, under head coach Dan Lanning, have built a reputation as a premier destination for elite talent, thanks to their innovative play style and top-notch facilities. Arrington’s visit will likely include a tour of the state-of-the-art Hatfield-Dowlin Complex and a chance to meet with the coaching staff, including offensive coordinator Will Stein, who has been heavily involved in his recruitment.
With a recruiting battle brewing, Oregon fans are buzzing at the possibility of landing the dynamic prospect. Arrington’s decision to visit could set the stage for an intense recruiting cycle as other powerhouse programs scramble to stay in the race for the coveted athlete. His visit to Eugene is expected to take place later this spring.
