Oregon Ducks land 4-star DL Tomuhini Topui on heels of Ohio State win

The commitments are starting to come in for the Ducks after beating Ohio State on Saturday.

The fruits of the Oregon Ducks’ labor are starting to pay off.

On Sunday afternoon, Dan Lanning and his staff got a big commitment from a blue-chip defensive lineman in the 2026 class, landing 4-star defensive lineman Tomuhini Topui out of Mater Dei, in California.

Topui is rated by 247Sports as the No. 96 player in the 2026 class, and the No. 8 defensive lineman in the nation. He was in Eugene for Oregon’s 32-31 win over the Ohio State Buckeyes on Saturday night, and was obviously impressed enough with what he saw to end his recruitment early and commit to the Ducks.

This is Oregon’s sixth commitment in the class of 2026, and third commitment on the defensive line. Currently, the Ducks have the No. 1 rated class in the 2026 cycle with the addition of Topui.

Standing at 6-foot-3, 320 pounds, Topui is a bruiser of a defensive lineman that will fit well in Lanning’s defensive scheme and offer a massive body to plug holes in the middle. It’s a great pickup for the Ducks on the backs of a historic evening in Eugene.
