What are Oregon’s remaining needs in the 2027 recruiting class?

The Oregon Ducks got a big commitment on Friday morning, landing 4-star linebacker Brayton Feister, one of the top remaining uncommitted players in the 2027 class. Feister is rated as the No. 9 ATH in the nation, but is expected to be a rangy linebacker in Eugene, joining one of the top-ranked classes in the 2027 cycle.

With the commitment from Feister, Oregon has jumped up to No. 3 in the nation this cycle, with 25 commitments at the time. But the question now stands: What's left to do in this class for the Ducks?

Across the board, Oregon is pretty much set when it comes to the 2027 recruiting board. They have their top talent, and a ton of skill players across the charts to fill things out. Are there additional needs they need to fill over the final few months before National Signing Day? Who might they add, and who are some of the top prospects that they could be looking at?

Let's break that all down here and find out what Oregon still needs to do in the 2027 class.

Where Oregon's 2027 Class Stands Currently

With the addition of Feister, the Ducks now have the No. 3 class in the nation, jumping over the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on Friday morning. They also have the No. 1-ranked class in the Big Ten Conference. At the moment, a quartet of 5-stars leads the way: QB Will Mencl, WR Dakota Guerrant, 5-star ATH Xavier Sabb, and EDGE Rashad Streets.

The Ducks now also have 12 players rated inside the top 175 in the nation, according to 247Sports, and that number could rise as more ratings updates come out.

Position-By-Position Needs

Position Breakdown

  • Quarterback: 1
  • Running Back: 1
  • Wide Receiver: 3
  • Tight End: 2
  • Offensive Line: 4
  • Defensive Line: 5
  • Linebacker: 4
  • Cornerback: 3
  • Safety: 2

Looking at that position breakdown, it's fair to believe that the Ducks are pretty well spread out across the board. You could argue that there is room for another running back or safety, but after taking a pair of RBs in the 2026 class and three safeties as well, they are pretty well stocked as far as young talent goes.

How Big Will Oregon's 2027 Class Be?

Right now, the Ducks have 25 players in their class, and as we just went over, not many remaining needs. It is fair to believe that they will sign close to this number of players in December. Ultimately, I could see them going as high as 27 players, but there would have to be a couple of guys who emerge this fall as potential targets, or a few flips that come to fruition.

We've seen Lanning and his staff do an incredible job of both flipping top players and holding onto their commits over the past several years. I don't see Oregon signing fewer than 24-25 players, but I could see this class growing by a player or two if things break the right way.
