The Oregon Ducks are actively building their 2027 recruiting class, and four-star quarterback Andre Adams has scheduled an official visit to Eugene from March 13-15. Adams, ranked as the No. 6 player in Tennessee and the No. 12 quarterback nationally, has received dozens of offers and is considering the Ducks, Kentucky, Colorado, Mississippi State, Virginia Tech, and Florida State. The Ducks are up against their former offensive coordinator, Will Stein, who is now the head coach at Kentucky and in a good position for Adams' recruitment.

Why it matters

Landing a top quarterback recruit like Adams would be a major boost for the Ducks' 2027 class as they look to continue their success under head coach Dan Lanning. The competition with Kentucky, led by their former assistant, adds an interesting dynamic to Adams' recruitment.

The details

Adams threw for 35 touchdowns and 3,418 yards with only one interception in his junior season, while also rushing for 855 yards and 13 touchdowns. He helped lead his high school team, Antioch, to a 9-2 record and a third straight postseason appearance. The Ducks have not yet secured a quarterback commitment for 2027, although they are pursuing several other blue-chip prospects at the position.

  • Adams will visit Oregon from March 13-15.
  • Adams will also visit Kentucky on March 2 and return in April.
  • Adams revealed his top five schools on January 7, which did not include Oregon or Kentucky at the time.
