4-Star QB Bryson Beaver Commits to Oregon, Ducks Land Elite 11 Finalist

2026 4-Star Murrieta (Calif.) Vista Murrieta quarterback Bryson Beaver has committed to Oregon. He chose the Ducks over offers from schools like Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss and Cal.
Beaver was previously committed to Boise State, but chose to reopen his recruitment after he was offered by the Ducks on June 11.
The newest Duck pledge in the 2026 class is ranked the No. 866 player nationally, the No. 55 quarterback and the No. 78 prospect in California according to the On3 Industry Ranking.
“I’d say it’s a little bit of everything, but honestly my dream is to play in the NFL someday, and they know how to do that for sure,” Beaver told ScoopDuck of what stands out about Oregon. “Because they have I think four active quarterbacks right now in the NFL, and I think they had two Heisman candidates the last two years. So they know how to produce and develop quarterbacks. That’s kind of the biggest and most important reason. It’s very intriguing for me.”
