The Oregon Ducks have landed commitments from a number of highly-ranked defensive lineman in program history, with Kayvon Thibodeaux and Haloti Ngata highlighting the list as top players from their respective classes.
If class of 2027 defensive lineman Marcus Fakatou committed to Oregon, he’d join the prestigious list as well as he’s currently rated as a five-star. He’s reportedly interested in the Ducks, as he included Oregon among the final ten schools that he’s considering in his recruitment.

Oregon was on the list alongside Big Ten foes Ohio State, Michigan, USC and Penn State among five others.
Fakatou is the No. 2 defensive lineman and No. 35 player overall in the 2027 class, per 247 Sports Composite. He competes for Orange Lutheran High School in Orange, CA, where he’s the third-ranked player in the state.
The Ducks currently have just four commits as part of the 2027 class, with three-star linebacker Sam Ngata and four-star edge rusher Cameron Prittchet the two commits on the defensive side of the ball.
Oregon has been named as a finalist in several other highly-ranked players in the 2027 class in recent weeks, but securing the commitment of Fakatou would cement them at the top of recruiting rankings once again after finishing with the second-ranked 2026 class.
