Spring visits are starting to slow down at Oregon and across college football. That’s because coaches are able to hit the road and visit prospects at their schools and go in-home for visits to make their recruiting pitches.

On the latest episode of the Ducks Dish Podcast, ScoopDuck’s Max Torres and Justin Hopkins take a closer look at Oregon 5-star targets like cornerback Brandon Arrington Jr., offensive tackle Jackson Cantwell and quarterback Jared Curtis.

Arrington was just on campus in Eugene for Oregon’s spring game, and now he’s set a commitment date for July 5. He’ll choose from Oregon, USC, Alabama, Texas A&M and Penn State.

Cantwell just wrapped up his Oregon official visit, which looks like it’ll be the only official visit he takes before making his college commitment on May 13. Did Oregon do enough to hold off Georgia, who will host the coveted tackle for a May 10 unofficial visit?

Curtis is set to come off the board and make his college commitment on May 5. Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein is set to go in-home with the touted passer before he picks one of Oregon or Georgia.

Max and Justin also take a big-picture look at Oregon’s recruiting efforts in the 2026 class. It’s been a rough spring for the Ducks, who haven’t landed a commitment since February, but could that change soon?

Official visits are already kicking off, with many of Oregon’s top targets scheduled to visit Eugene during the June 20-22 weekend. With a lot of the Ducks’ top targets aiming to make their commitments before their senior seasons start in the fall, we’re closing in on crunch time and when Lanning and the Ducks do their heavy lifting.
