The Oregon Ducks basketball program has landed a commitment from three-star small forward Seven Spurlock, their third recruit in the 2026 class. Spurlock's commitment has led to a significant jump in the Ducks' recruiting rankings, as they now sit at No. 25 nationally according to 247Sports. The Ducks were previously struggling to gain commitments, but Spurlock's addition provides a much-needed boost to their 2026 recruiting efforts.

Why it matters

Oregon has faced challenges in recruiting recently, losing several players to the transfer portal. Spurlock's commitment is a crucial addition that helps the Ducks rebuild their roster and improve their standing in the national recruiting landscape. The Ducks are still pursuing other top targets, including five-star small forward Tyran Stokes, as they look to further bolster their 2026 class.

The details

Seven Spurlock, a three-star small forward from Dynamic Prep High School in Dallas, Texas, has committed to the Oregon Ducks. Spurlock's commitment is the third for the Ducks in the 2026 recruiting class, joining four-star forward Tajh Ariza and four-star center Kendre Harrison. Prior to Spurlock's pledge, the Ducks were ranked low in the recruiting rankings, but his addition has led to a significant jump to No. 25 nationally.

  • Spurlock committed to the Ducks on March 30, 2026.
