Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele (Flip from California)

QB | 6-3, 210 | Ewa Beach, Hawaii | ★★★★☆

Sagapolutele adds to the rich history of Oregon football recruits from Hawaii, a signing day move from Cal to Oregon. The Ducks have been pushing hard to recruit Sagapolutele recently, and he has been a steady riser, now rated as a five-star prospect by some recruiting sites. Sagapolutele finished his high school career as the state of Hawaii’s leading passer with 10,653 yards, surpassing current Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel.

Mark Wiepert (Flip from Oregon State)

QB | 6-1, 200| Wilsonville, Oregon | ★★★☆☆

Wiepert, a counterpart for the rival Beavers, was originally headed to Corvallis for baseball but was given the opportunity to transfer to Oregon as a quarterback prospect. He had a stunning performance under center in the Class 5A state championship game, throwing for an 11-team state championship game record eight touchdowns in a win for Wilsonville. Wiepert took an official visit to Oregon and received an offer on Sunday before signing on Wednesday.

Jordan Davison

RB | 6-0, 216| Santa Ana, California | ★★★★☆

Davison, a power back known for his physicality, is joining the Ducks via California powerhouse Mater Dei. Greg Biggins of 247Sports praises Davison’s ability to run between the tackles and gain yards after contact, noting that he has “enough speed and offense to play outside the box,” with the NFL having the advantage. In his final season at Mater Dei, Davison caught 159 carries for 1,126 yards and 17 touchdowns.

Dacoria Moore

WR | 5-11, 182 | Duncanville, Texas | ★★★★★

Moore is the No. 1 wideout in the 2025 class and one of Oregon’s highest-rated recruits overall. He is an extremely productive and fast receiver. As a junior for Duncanville High School, he caught 71 passes for 1,532 yards and 18 touchdowns. Moore also runs track for Duncanville, where he posted a time of 10.40 in the 100 meters as a junior and placed fifth in the state this season with a long jump of 23-7.5.

Dallas Wilson

WR | 6-3, 195 | Tampa, Florida | ★★★★★

Oregon overcame late pushes from Florida and Miami to secure the commitment of Wilson, the No. 3 wide receiver in the 2025 class. Wilson has been with the Ducks since January 17, 2023, and brings a lankier frame and big hands to the Ducks Position. According to MaxPreps, he had 41 receptions for 677 yards and nine touchdowns in his senior season at Tampa Bay Tech.

Cooper Perry

WR | 6-1, 185 | Scottsdale, Arizona | ★★★★☆

An elusive wideout with elite post-catch skills, Perry is the No. 2 player in Arizona and the No. 18 wide receiver in the country, according to 247Sports composite rankings. Perry is also a high-level lacrosse player. So if there’s time between his football commitments, he could play for Oregon’s club lacrosse team if he wants. In three years as a varsity starter for Notre Dame Prep football, the speedy Perry collected 194 receptions for 2,997 yards and 49 touchdowns.

Vander Ploog

TE | 6-6, 223 | Fullerton, California | ★★★★☆

Ploog, a recent transfer from rival Washington, brings size and athleticism to the Ducks’ tight end position. He is a two-time all-league basketball player at Troy High School and was a productive pass catcher on the gridiron. Ploog had 75 receptions for 1,148 yards and 17 touchdowns in his final season.

Ziyare Addison

OT | 6-5, 290 | Tampa, Florida | ★★★★☆

A long-arm athletic tackle (6-10 measured wingspan), Addison also wrestles and runs track for Carrollwood Day School in Tampa. As a sophomore, the big man posted a time of 12.84 seconds in the 100 meters. Addison took official visits to Penn State and Florida in addition to Oregon over the summer, but maintained his commitment to the Ducks in June.

Zac Stascausky

OT | 6-6, 274 | Portland, Oregon | ★★★★☆

The hulking Stascausky was a star for perennial Oregon powerhouse Central Catholic and stuck with the Ducks as the No. 1 player in the state. A former Washington player, he transferred to Oregon after an official visit to Eugene in late November. Stascausky played left tackle for the Rams and is described as light on his feet who has room to gain weight once he makes the jump to college football. But his edge and strength are undeniable.

Demetri Manning

IOL | 6-7, 336 | Bellevue, Washington | ★★★☆☆

Manning is a strong young man who played some left tackle at the high school level but thrives as an inside linebacker. He will travel to the Ducks from Bellevue via I-5. Recruiting analysts point to “angularity” and “nastyness” as some of Manning’s most intriguing traits in the trenches. Greg Biggins of 247Sports noted that Manning moves well for his size and “has all the attributes to be an outstanding guard and a multi-year starter.”

Na’eem Offord (Flip from Ohio State)

CB | 6-1, 185 | Birmingham, Alabama | ★★★★★

Brandon Finney

CB | 6-2, 185 | Thanks Mills, Maryland | ★★★★☆

Finney, another player heavily pursued by Oregon’s Big Ten championship opponent Penn State, was the first player to sign with the Ducks early Wednesday morning. His athletic ability features an 11-foot broad jump, as does his physicality as a cornerback who is primarily a press player and created havoc for opposing wideouts throughout his high school career. Finney had four interceptions his senior year and three interceptions his junior year and also played wide receiver for the McDonogh School.

Dorian Brew

CB | 6-0, 200 | Conroe, Texas | ★★★★☆

Nasir Wyatt

LB | 6-2, 220 | Santa Ana, California | ★★★★☆

Along with his high school teammate Jordon Davison from Mater Dei, Wyatt is joining the Ducks and will be among the elite defenders heading to Eugene next season. He is the No. 21 linebacker and No. 181 overall player in the country, according to the 247Sports composite rankings. With a quick first step and elite athleticism, Wyatt projects as a pass rusher at the next level with the potential to be a standout for Oregon.
