Oregon football and head coach Dan Lanning are on a winning streak, with an 11-0 start to the season. This success on the field is translating to success on the recruiting trail, with the Ducks landing commitments from top prospects like the No. 1 receiver in the country for the 2025 class.
One of the latest recruiting victories for Oregon could be four-star cornerback Davon Benjamin from Westlake Village, Calif. According to Rivals reporter Adam Gorney, the Ducks are now considered the team to beat for Benjamin’s commitment. Despite offers from top programs like USC, Oregon has emerged as the frontrunner for the talented defensive back.
Benjamin, who is ranked as the No. 73 overall recruit in the 2026 class by Rivals, has seen his stock rise despite a slight drop in the rankings since March. With interest from schools like Michigan, Arizona State, and LSU, Benjamin’s recruitment is heating up, with Oregon being in a strong position to land his commitment.
The Ducks’ success on the field and in recruiting bodes well for their chances with Benjamin as they aim for a Big Ten title and national championship. Oregon’s winning ways have made them an attractive destination for top prospects, and if they can continue their momentum, they may have a strong chance of securing one of the nation’s top defensive backs.
