Where Oregon Ducks stand in 2027 rankings after Molden commitment
TL;DR
The Oregon Ducks secured a significant commitment from 4-star cornerback Josiah Molden, the son of former NFL player Alex Molden. This move propelled the Ducks into the top 10 of the national recruiting rankings for the 2027 class, currently sitting at No. 8.
Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks landed a very important commitment on Sunday morning, more impactful than the recruiting rankings would suggest.
4-star cornerback Josiah Molden announced his commitment to the Ducks. Molden, the son of Oregon legend Alex Molden, was among the top players on the Ducks' board, working hard to keep the legacy commit and the top-ranked player in the state of Oregon, at home. Molden is the No. 209 overall player and No. 28 CB in the 2027 class.
Alex Molden is a former first-round NFL draft pick, selected by the New Orleans Saints with the No. 11 overall pick in the 1996 draft after a brilliant career in Eugene, where he was a First-Team All-American in 1995 and a First-Team All-Pac-10 player twice in his career.
With the addition of Molden, the Ducks jumped into the top 10 of the national recruiting rankings, leaping over teams like the Georgia Bulldogs, Texas Longhorns, and Louisville Cardinals. Oregon now sits at No. 8 in the national recruiting rankings for the 2027 cycle.
Oregon's class has eight players, headlined by 4-star EDGE Rashad Streets and 4-star DL Zane Rowe. Over the past couple of weeks, the Ducks have hosted some very prominent prospects on visits, so don't be surprised if more commitments come in the near future.
