Recruiting at the quarterback position has been a rollercoaster for the Oregon Ducks in the 2026 class, to say the least.
Last summer, Oregon got a commitment from 4-star QB Jonas Williams, who later backed off and flipped to the USC Trojans. The Ducks were then considered a favorite to land 5-star QB Jared Curtis, the No. 1 passer in the class, but he chose the Georgia Bulldogs instead. After missing on Curtis, Oregon took over as the favorite to land 5-star QB Ryder Lyons, but the BYU Cougars were able to get him to choose Provo over Eugene.

Ultimately, Oregon secured a commitment from Bryson Beaver, a fast-rising quarterback prospect rated as a 3-star recruit by most recruiting sites. Not for long, though.
On Monday, On3/Rivals released their latest recruiting update, and Beaver was one of the biggest risers. After initially being rated as a 3-star and outside of the On300 and the No. 19 QB in the class, Beaver rose to No. 44 in the nation, and the sixth-best QB in the class.
This is not the first big ratings bump that Beaver has seen. Shortly before he committed to Oregon, he was moved from the No. 71-ranked QB in the nation, per 247Sports, to the No. 17 QB.
