Oregon quarterback recruiting saw another domino fall on Tuesday, with 5-star Folsom (Calif.) quarterback Ryder Lyons committing to BYU over Oregon.

The Oregon coaching staff was ready for this development however, as Will Stein, Koa Ka’ai and others have continued to recruit other quarterbacks this cycle.

ScoopDuck’s Max Torres and Justin Hopkins dive into the latest with 4-star quarterbacks Bryson Beaver and Matt Ponatoski, who both took official visits to Oregon this weekend and are mulling over their commitments.

Quarterback recruiting has become one of the craziest parts of college football. Top passers are commanding serious NIL money, and their decisions are watched over and scrutinized perhaps more than any other position in the sport. Oregon will always pursue the best of the best at the prep level, even if their previous starters the last three seasons have come from the transfer portal.

Oregon’s quarterback room is loaded in Eugene. Dante Moore, Austin Novosad, Luke Moga and Akili Smith Jr. make up the scholarship players on the roster and they could all be back in Eugene for the 2026 season.

Max and Justin also take a closer look at some of the biggest names on campus in Eugene for their Oregon official visits this past weekend in 5-star offensive tackle Immanuel Iheanacho and 3-star Cal interior offensive lineman Koloi Keli. Oregon could be in line to add to their 2026 recruiting class with many of their top targets eying commitments in the coming weeks and months leading up to the start of their senior seasons.
