Where the Ducks’ 2023 recruiting class compares to the best in Oregon history

With the addition of four-star Rodrick Pleasant, Oregon’s class ranks No. 8 in the 2023 cycle. Where does that compare to the best in school history?

What Dan Lanning has done in 13 months on the job in Eugene has been quite impressive.

While the Oregon Ducks were unable to land five-star athlete Nyckoles Harbor on Wednesday, they did get a big-time commitment from four-star cornerback Rodrick Pleasant, the No. 8 CB in the 2023 class.  More importantly, the Ducks have a recruiting team score of 282.74, which is important to note, because it gives Oregon the second-highest-rated recruiting class in school history.

The top-ranked class was in 2021 with a score of 287.67, headed up by Mario Cristobal with marquee prospects Ty Thompson (quarterback), Kingsley Suamataia (offensive tackle) and Troy Franklin (wide receiver).
