The 2027 recruiting cycle is heating up, and the Oregon Ducks are on the hunt for the program’s next great signal-caller.
Dan Lanning and offensive coordinator Drew Mehringer have coveted several quarterbacks in the upcoming recruiting class as they prepare for life after Dante Moore, who is expected to enter the NFL Draft after next season. The Ducks have been linked to some of the top high school quarterbacks around the country, and one of those targets is set to make a decision soon.

Four-star quarterback Andre Adams has settled on April 11 as his commitment date, according to Rivals. Adams, the 12th-ranked quarterback in the class by Rivals, took an unofficial visit to Eugene on March 13, and most recently visited Virginia Tech on Friday. Before his commitment day arrives, Adams is expected to take visits to Colorado and Florida State as well.
Adams is expected to choose between six schools: Oregon, Colorado, Florida State, Virginia Tech, Kentucky and Mississippi State. As of now, Adams appears to be leaning toward Kentucky and former Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein, as well as Mississippi State. If the Ducks want Adams, they would likely need to make a big push over the next couple of weeks.
The Nashville quarterback isn’t a recruit to look past. As a junior at Antioch High School in Tennessee, Adams threw for 3,418 yards and tossed 35 touchdown passes with just one interception, completing 71% of his passes. Adams is also a threat as a runner, rushing for 855 yards and 13 touchdowns.

The Ducks would be happy to have Adams join the flock, but the program is also making a much stronger effort to earn a commitment from five-star quarterbacks Will Mencl and Jake Nawrot. Both appear to be top priorities for the Ducks moving forward, and those commitments seem to be heating up toward a commitment in the near future.
