This weekend, the No. 1 prospect in Washington for the 2026 recruiting class visited campus for Oregon’s junior day event. Kodi Greene, a 6-foot-6, 260-pound offensive lineman from Eastside Catholic High School (Sammamish, Washington), departed Eugene with a great impression on Oregon as the Ducks made steps in his recruitment.
“After this visit, Oregon is my top school as of right now,” Greene said. “I say this because I could feel myself being a Duck one day.”
One of the nation’s best players in the 2026 recruiting class swung through Eugene for an unofficial visit as part of Oregon’s junior day event. Brock Harris, the nation’s No. 2 tight end in the country and a 5-star 247Sports Composite prospect, spoke to DuckTerritory.com about the visit.
“Some things that stood out a lot were the personalities of the coaches, how well the players are taken care of there, and how much the coaches care about the players,” Harris told DuckTerritory.com.
The transfer portal significantly altered the college football recruiting process, particularly with student-athletes now allowed to retain immediate eligibility at their destination programs. Few schools mastered the new landscape as well as Oregon, which is on pace to land its most talented recruiting class in program history while also welcoming a highly-ranked haul of transfer prospects.
Head coach Dan Lanning committed this offseason to leading the Ducks for the foreseeable future, and with him at the helm, the program could remain one of the hottest recruiting destinations. Lanning displayed his acumen when he secured a transfer commitment from quarterback Dante Moore, who at one time was an Oregon commit before he spent his freshman season at UCLA.
“If you do a great job of building relationships with guys on your team and guys in recruiting, sometimes they’re going to make different decisions,” Lanning said on The College Football Recruiting Show. “They’re going to end up different places. But if you leave that relationship the right way, there’s now an opportunity in college football that it can be reconnected down the road.”
