Breaking down Oregon’s three newest 2027 commitments

Oregon’s 2027 recruiting class added major momentum Monday, and the Autzen Audibles Podcast broke it all down.

On the latest episode, DuckTerritory’s Erik Skopil and Matt Prehm discussed Oregon’s three newest verbal commitments — defensive lineman Achilles Reyna, tight end George VanSandt and wide receiver Malachi Garlington — and what the additions mean for the Ducks’ overall recruiting outlook.

The trio of commitments helped Oregon jump into the Top 10 of the 2027 Team Recruiting Rankings. The Ducks now sit No. 8 nationally with 17 verbal commitments, 224.75 total points and an 89.29 average per commit. Oregon is just 0.12 points behind Clemson for the No. 7 spot, giving the Ducks a realistic path to continue climbing as the summer recruiting calendar heats up.

Skopil and Prehm also discussed the significance of Oregon landing two in-state prospects in VanSandt and Garlington. VanSandt, a Central Catholic tight end, was previously committed to Arkansas before reopening his recruitment. Garlington, a Nelson High School wide receiver, earned an Oregon offer after a strong camp performance before briefly committing to Washington State and later flipping to the Ducks.

Reyna, a massive 6-foot-8 defensive line prospect from Rainier Beach High School in Seattle, had long been viewed as an Oregon lean before making his commitment official.
