Oregon is wasting no time looking ahead, because Rivals recruiting experts Brandon Huffman and Greg Biggins just dropped predictions Friday for the Ducks to land a pair of monster 2028 recruits: quarterback Josiah Boyd and defensive lineman Trison Satele. This isn’t just about the 2027 class anymore. The Ducks are already eyeing the next wave of talent, and these early efforts are clearly making waves across the country.
Boyd: The Dream QB Oregon Needs To Lock Down
Alright, let’s dive into Josiah Boyd. We’re talking about a top 100 recruit nationally, the absolute No. 5 quarterback in the entire 2028 class, per the Rivals Industry Ranking. This kid is a big deal. He’s hailing from Moreno Valley, California, and get this, folks: Oregon is his dream school. You can’t put a price on that kind of organic interest! The coaching staff has done an amazing job making Boyd feel like he’s their top priority early in the process, which is exactly what you want to see. But here’s the catch with quarterbacks: they often don’t commit this early. Oregon absolutely has to keep pouring on the charm and the effort to potentially seal the deal and lock him in later this fall. And who’s the biggest threat trying to snatch him away? Kentucky, with Will Stein’s influence now playing against the Ducks. It’s a real battle, even this early!
Satele: That Family Link Is Clutch
Then we’ve got Trison Satele, another absolutely vital target. This guy is the younger brother of Toa Satele, who’s already committed to Oregon as a linebacker. That’s huge! These brothers have made it known they wanna play together in college, so with Toa already in the fold, Oregon is just a natural fit, right? Trison is the top recruit in Hawaii for the 2028 cycle and ranks No. 171 nationally. He plays along the interior of the defensive line, and while he’s still got room to grow, his versatility means he could play at different spots and become a major piece for the Ducks. It’s telling that Huffman and Biggins are actually more confident about Satele committing to Oregon than Boyd right now. Cal, Miami, and UCLA are all chasing him too, just like they did with Toa, but that brotherly bond has gotta be a serious advantage for the Ducks here.
Look, Oregon doesn’t have a single commit for their 2028 class yet. But landing both Boyd and Satele would be an unbelievable start, planting two foundational pillars for that class super early. The Ducks are also in touch with other big-time talents like four-star safety Jordan Hicks and four-star wideout Braylon Clark. You know what’s next: expect the coaching staff to be working overtime to get all these guys on campus frequently throughout this fall. If these predictions hold up, Oregon’s 2028 class is gonna be starting with some serious fireworks!
