The Oregon Ducks have officially signed offensive lineman Aiden Lewey, a walk-on recruit from Willamette High School in Eugene, Oregon. Lewey is the latest local prospect to join the Ducks, adding depth to the offensive line group in the 2026 recruiting class.

Why it matters

The Ducks have a history of developing walk-on players into contributors, and Lewey will look to follow in the footsteps of past walk-on standouts like linebacker Bryce Boettcher. Adding local talent is also important for the Ducks to maintain strong ties within the Eugene community.
