Elite safety Blaine Bradford includes Oregon in his final five

An elite safety in the Class of 2026, Blaine Bradford, has Oregon in his Top 5 schools.

We always say recruiting is an ongoing proposition and the Ducks are looking towards the Class of 2026.

According to On3.com writer Hayes Fawcett, five-star safety Blaine Bradford has included Oregon among his final five choices to play college football.

This is the type of player Dan Lanning covets.

Bradford is 6-foot-1 and 200 pounds as he enters his junior year of high school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He’s a Top 50 player in the country and Top 5 safety.

Bradford said he’s considering Alabama, Ohio State, LSU and Notre Dame as well besides the Ducks. Going into the heart of LSU and SEC country is a challenge to pull players out of there, but Lanning has show the ability to recruit at a high level and if he can get Bradford, it would be further proof of his recruiting abilities.
