Oregon Ducks recruiting: Dan Lanning’s 2025 class sets a new benchmark

Oregon’s 2025 recruiting class showcases remarkable diversity, with athletes hailing from 13 states and including eight multi-sport talents. Among the 21 signees, 15 are set to join early as winter, and coach Dan Lanning successfully flipped seven commitments from other programs.

"Ultimately, you walk into our locker room, and it’s a melting pot of people from all over the nation, and that’s one of the things that makes Oregon so unique," said Lanning, as per SI. "If you’re looking for the same, this isn’t the place to get that.

"If you’re looking for different, right? If you’re looking to challenge yourself and really challenge yourself to grow. I know for myself. You know, I grew the most of my career when I left home, right? And that’s when opportunities really came and created themselves for me, personally."

Ducks are set for their upcoming Big Ten Championship clash against Penn State.
