Head coach Dan Lanning and his staff received exciting news on Saturday, as four-star running back Cadarius McMiller has committed to the Oregon Ducks, per On3’s Hayes Fawcett. McMiller is the No. 19 running back and No. 249 player nationally, per 247 Sports.
The 6-foot-2, 200-pound back competes for Tyler High School in Tyler, TX, where he’s the 36th-ranked player in the state.

McMiller had a bevy of offers, but recently narrowed his list down to Texas, SMU, Texas A&M and Oregon. In the end, he decided to depart from Texas and commit to the Ducks.
According to 247 Sports, McMiller appeared in 11 games during the 2025 season as a junior and recorded 939 yards and 17 touchdowns on 8.7 yards per carry. He also added 11 catches for 186 yards and three touchdowns in the receiving game.
The Ducks have had massive amounts of success in recent years at the running back position, making it no surprise that McMiller would want to come to Eugene. Just in 2025, both true freshman Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill Jr. carved out consistant roles in the backfield and flourished in the Oregon offense.

McMiller is the fifth commit for the Ducks in the 2027 class, joining three-star offensive tackles Avery Michael and Drew Fielder, three-star linebacker Sam Ngata and four-star edge rusher Cam Pritchett.
