This was Sweeney's 18th recorded offer, but the Ducks were still early to the party. Nearly the full list of schools that made the top-12 were schools that have been talking to him for quite some time. The most recent school to offer the prospect and make the list is Texas Tech, who offered him on Jan. 13. Texas Tech has been known to join recruitments late, but has been one of the more popular programs when it comes to finishing recruitments. They have been known to compete at a high level with the NIL side of things, which has allowed them to land five-stars.As for the Ducks, they currently have a total of two commitments in the class, which has them listed as the 34th-best team in the country for the 2027 class, according to 247SportsOregon head coach Dan Lanning takes the field as the Oregon Ducks face the Indiana Hoosiers in the Peach Bowl on Jan. 9, 2026, at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. | Ben Lonergan/The Register-Guard / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images Pritchett is an uber-talented EDGE, who has a ton of upside, while Ngata is the more recent addition at the linebacker position. The Ducks have hopes of being able to land someone like Sweeney, but the competition is stiff. As of now, there has been little to no news on a leader in Sweeney's recruitment, which leads many to believe that the end isn't near. This will likely be a recruitment that pushes through the summer, as a large majority of the prospects in the 2027 class will want to wait until after they take their summer official visits. This is when the leader for many talented players will begin to become visible. There seems to be a level of optimism that each school has a solid chance of getting an official visit.
