Oregon is on the hunt for at least one, and maybe two quarterback commits in the 2027 recruiting cycle after 2026 signee Bryson Beaver transferred to Georgia just weeks after inking with the Ducks.
They’ve identified a handful of targets since offensive coordinator Will Stein left for Kentucky, headlined by Rivals’ No. 1-ranked player at the position Will Mencl. But with depth issues potentially popping up next season and the ever-uncertain landscape of quarterback recruiting, they’re not taking any chances.

Tacoma (Wash.) Lincoln four-star passer Sione Kaho has emerged as another significant target. And he will be in Eugene this summer for an official visit, he announced Wednesday.
Cal, Washington, BYU and Stanford are among the other programs vying for his services. But he says the Ducks are very much a contender in the race to land him.
“They’re for sure in it,” Kaho told Rivals’ Adam Gorney earlier this week. “I just got off the phone with coach Koa last week and we were talking about how highly they’re interested in me and how high I am on their board and what they think of me.
… Ever since my freshman year he was the guy on the board with me a lot when I took visits out there. Just understanding he has that Hawaiian and Polynesian pipeline and him going to Oregon, he knows everything.”
