The Oregon Ducks have secured a key commitment in their 2027 recruiting class, as four-star EDGE rusher Cam Pritchett has announced he is shutting down his recruitment and is 100% committed to the program. Pritchett is the second player in Oregon's class to make this declaration, following fellow four-star defensive tackle Zane Rowe.

Why it matters

Pritchett's decision to fully commit to Oregon is significant, as the Ducks have lost several high-profile recruits in this class, including a former five-star wide receiver. Pritchett's pledge provides stability and certainty for the Ducks as they look to build another strong recruiting class.

The details

Pritchett, a four-star EDGE rusher from Thompson High School in Alabama, is currently ranked as the No. 245 player nationally, the No. 30 EDGE prospect, and the No. 11 player in Alabama. He has the size and skill set to be an impactful defender at the college level, and his decision to shut down his recruitment means Oregon can now focus its efforts on other top targets.

  • Pritchett announced his full commitment to Oregon on January 9, 2026.
