Oregon’s recruiting machine earned a commitment from Rivals 4-star Xavier Lherisse, from Melbourne (Fla.) Eau Gallie. Rivals national recruiting analyst John Garica, Jr. defines how the Ducks gained Lherisse’s commitment.

Speaking of Oregon, the Jared Curtis sweepstakes impact not just the Ducks and Georgia Bulldogs, but fellow signal-caller Ryder Lyons. If Curtis picks Oregon, the Lyons recruitment could be the most exciting of the 2026 cycle. Watch out for Lane Kiffin, among a few unique choices Lyons could make.

High school offensive line recruiting could not be more important and Bear McWhorter is an example of that. The Peach State prospect is down to a handful of schools. 

Finally, Texas brings former defensive backs coach Duane Akina to the Forty Acres. How will he make the recruiting adjustment after last being a Longhorns assistant from 2001-2013?
