5-star safety puts Ducks among top schools

The Ducks landed among the top schools for 5-star safety DJ Pickett, the No. 8 player in the 2025 class.

The Oregon Ducks are in good standing with one of the top players in the class of 2025.

Earlier this week, five-star safety DJ Pickett announced his top 13 schools, keeping the Ducks in the mix alongside teams including Georgia, Ohio State, LSU and Alabama.

Pickett is rated as the No. 8 overall player in the 2025 class and the No. 1 safety. Pickett has not visited Oregon, but that will likely come in the next several months as he continues his recruitment.

Safety has been a great position for the Ducks recently. They gained a commitment from four-star Aaron Flowers, the No. 7 safety in the 2024 class. We will see if they can add to that talented room in the next class as well.
