Oregon already has a defensive lineman commit in the 2027 class in four-star prospect Cam Pritchett out of Thompson High School in Alabaster, Alabama. Dan Lanning's coaching staff is constantly trying to add more defensive linemen in the room, and one of their key targets is five-star prospect Jalen Brewster.
Brewster picked up an offer from Oregon on Feb. 28, and since then, the Ducks have been actively recruiting him. On Friday, Lanning even sent Brewster a personalized video message:
"Jalen, what's up brother? Down here at the lake enjoying some time with family. Just thinking about you and your crew and how much fun we had when you were up here on campus with us. So, I hope you have a great 4th of July. Let me know what you're cooking, man. Have a good one."

Brewster hasn’t set a timeline for his decision, but he continues to be one of the hottest names in recruiting. Since June, he has received offers from Notre Dame, Michigan, and Kansas State.
Brewster also holds scholarships from Auburn, Ohio State, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, LSU, Miami, Nebraska, Penn State, Texas, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and USC.
Brewster is the No. 1 defensive lineman in the 2026 class and the No. 8 recruit in the nation, according to the On3 Industry Rankings. He also proved his versatility by occasionally playing running back for his high school, scoring four rushing touchdowns during the 2024 season.
Jalen Brewster opens up about his trip to Oregon
Jalen Brewster visited Eugene this spring on an unofficial trip. Speaking with On3, he shared his impressions:
“It was my first time at Oregon, and what stood out to me were the facilities and the coaches. Oregon has everything you need to make it to the league, and the staff treated me like family."
Brewster made a return visit on June 1 and offered more praise for Dan Lanning’s program afterward (via On3):
"They just check all the boxes."
As of now, On3 gives Oklahoma the leading spot in Brewster's recruitment with a 43.7% chance of securing his commitment, while Oregon holds only a 7.3% chance.
However, with more high school football ahead, Oregon will have ample opportunities to bring Brewster back for more visits and possibly shift the momentum in their favor.
