The recruiting trail has gone a bit quiet for the Oregon Ducks after a booming June where they landed multiple 5-star and 4-star commitments. However, it appears that things are about to pick up significantly over the coming days.
The fun for Duck fans could start on Thursday, with it being announced that 5-star EDGE Anthony ‘Tank’ Jones will be announcing his commitment live on the Pat McAfee Show on ESPN. Jones is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 18 player and No. 4 EDGE in the 2026 class, and he is choosing between Oregon, the Alabama Crimson Tide, and the Texas A&M Aggies.

This recruitment has been one to watch over the past couple of months as teams vie for Jones’ commitment. Early on, it appeared that Alabama led the way for the St. Paul’s Episcopal prospect, but over the past couple of weeks, more buzz has been growing for Oregon’s favor, and there is a fundamental belief that the Ducks could land him on Thursday.
We will see if that ends up being the case, but at long last, a decision will finally be announced in less than 24 hours.
