Oregon Ducks land massive commitment with 5-star CB Dorian Brew

Oregon’s Class of 2025 gets stronger with the commitment of cornerback Dorian Brew out of Texas.

Something is definitely brewing in Eugene.

The Oregon Ducks football program and Dan Lanning just received a huge commitment from five-star cornerback Dorian Brew out of Conroe, Texas.

Brew’s commitment is the latest Oregon obtained this week. The No. 3 tight end (Da’Saahn Brame), the No. 5 running back (Jordan Davison) and the No. 7 defensive lineman (Josiah Sharma) also committed to the Ducks this week.

On 247sports.com, Brew has a player rating of 94 and a composite of 0.9841. He had offers from Florida State, Kentucky and Houston among others, but chose the Ducks.

It’s been a huge week in recruiting for Lanning and his staff. The class of ’25 might have had a slow start, but with this latest commitment, the Ducks are on their way to having another top 10 class coming to Eugene.

4-star WR Ryan Pellum flips from USC Trojans to Oregon Ducks

The Oregon Ducks landed a commitment from 4-star WR Ryan Pellum, who flipped from the USC Trojans.

One wide receiver surprise apparently wasn’t enough for Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks. They broke out the spatulas and flipped another one.

On Wednesday afternoon, four-star wide receive Ryan Pellum announced he would flip his commitment from the USC Trojans to the Ducks. On the 247Sports composite, Pellum is the No. 99 overall player and the No. 19 WR in the nation. He gives a big boost to the Ducks’ 2024 class, which is ranked inside the top 10.

Pellum is the second wide receiver to flip to the Ducks on Wednesday. Former Ohio State commit Jeremiah McClellan announced earlier in the day that he was signing with the Ducks.

The Ducks have been recruiting Pellum for a long time, and the Millikan High School star from Long Beach, California, was also fond of the Ducks during that process. Ultimately the efforts by Lanning and wide receivers coach Junior Adams were enough to persuade the blue-chip pass-catcher to flip to the Ducks.

Pellum is also the nephew of Don Pellum, a former Oregon coach who spent 23 seasons in Eugene, primarily as a linebackers coach.

It’s likely the quarterback situations at both schools played a factor as well. With Dillon Gabriel transferring from Oklahoma to Oregon, the Ducks are set with one of the favorites to win the Heisman Trophy in 2024 under center. USC is searching for its next QB; Caleb Williams is graduating this offseason.

It is unclear how much of a role Pellum will have early in his career because the Ducks have a lot of talent at the top of the depth chart. But he will certainly have an opportunity to show what he can do.
