Oregon Ducks Recruiting: 2025 Football, Baseball Star Sets Commitment Date
Is their a five-star recruit out there that isn’t highly considering the Oregon Ducks?
Five-star Jonah Williams is 6-3, 200 pounds from Galveston, Texas. He is the No. 1 safety in the Class of 2025, according to On3. As a junior, Williams recorded 58 tackles, four tackles for loss, and four interceptions, including three picks for touchdowns for the second consecutive season. He also added two punt return touchdowns and two kickoff return touchdowns.
“One of the freakiest athletes in the 2025 recruiting cycle, and has a legitimate chance to develop into an early-round selection in either the MLB or NFL Draft… Excellent reactionary athlete who can flip his hips to cover space against the pass or plant his foot in the ground to trigger in the run game before striking opponents. Has gotten better at shedding blocks, but is still at his most effective attacking from depth where his football instincts and elite athleticism can be put on full display. A modern defensive chess piece who can move all around the defense while retaining effectiveness against a wide range of offensive schemes and play styles. Profiles as an instant impact player for college football’s elite programs with significant long-term upside.”

Williams will be making his college decision on August 24 between Oregon, USC, Texas A&M, LSU and Miami. He visited Eugene back on June 21.
He’s also a star on the baseball diamond. The left-handed pitcher can hit the low 90’s and has a good feel for a changeup at times. Williams is looking to play both sports at the next level. Mark Wasikowski should be working hand-in-hand with Dan Lanning when it comes to recruiting this dual-sport athlete.
Lanning made a point to mention a current multi-sport athlete playing both football and baseball earlier this week at Big Ten Football Media Days.
“It’s also been really refreshing to see some of our players get the opportunity to cross over in sports,” Lanning said. “Seeing Bryce Boettcher get to play for Coach Waz there, win a Golden Glove in baseball, but still be a great performer for us on the football field.”
LSU is gaining traction as both Brian Kelly and Jay Johnson are pursuing the phenom hard. Williams is planning another visit to campus next week.

Where Oregon Ducks rank in industry recruiting rankings for 2027 class
With the winter evaluation period of high school football recruiting now behind us, we’ve seen some of the top recruiting sites update their rankings over the past few weeks and start to reset their boards for the 2027 class. In February, On3 shifted players around after getting fresh looks at the class, and 247Sports did the same earlier this week.
So with Oregon’s handful of commits getting new ratings, where does the Ducks’ class rank nationally in this cycle?
If you look at sites individually, it looks different, with 247Sports having Oregon sitting at No. 13 in the nation. At Rivals, though, they take the industry ranking, which factors in their own rankings, plus an average from 247Sports and ESPN.
In the industry rankings, Oregon sits at No. 9 in the nation, with five commitments.
Going into the summer months, the Ducks are in a great spot, leading or among the top schools for a handful of the top prospects in the nation, like 5-star QB Will Mencl or 5-star WR Dakota Guerrant. We will see what movement Oregon can make in the coming months after official visits take place early in the summer.

New Data Shows Oregon E-Scooter Injuries on the Rise
Data released by the Oregon Health Authority this week suggests Oregonians are getting hurt on electric scooters more every year.
In recent years, according to OHA, an “e-scooter-specific code” was developed for health care tracking purposes.
From 2021 to 2024, annual injury reports under this code from Oregon hospitals and emergency departments jumped from 211 to 418.
And in just the first nine months of 2025, there had been 509 such reports.
“These injuries are not minor scrapes,” said Dagan Wright, an OHA epidemiologist, in a written statement. “They often involve head injuries, broken bones, and other serious trauma that requires emergency or inpatient care.”
The city of Portland signed contracts with three e-scooter rental companies in 2018, as the transportation craze spread across the country. But e-scooter injury diagnosis codes are relatively new in health care reporting, Wright said in the OHA statement.
“While the overall numbers remain smaller than for other transportation-related injuries, the rapid increase over a short period of time is a clear safety signal,” OHA added.
The agency highlighted the story of Portland e-scooter commuter Daniel Pflieger, who it says was riding a scooter home when he reportedly slid on ice. He bruised several ribs.
Sometimes outcomes are worse. OHA identified 17 deaths linked to electric or motorized scooters since 2018, and seven of those occurred in 2025.
OHA says that e-bikes raise many similar safety concerns as e-scooters. The first full year for which e-bike injuries were coded for reporting was 2023. State data shows 392 reported e-bike injuries that year, 683 in 2024, and 760 in the first nine months of 2025.
“Injuries involving e-bikes and e-scooters share common risk factors—speed, lack of helmet use, roadway design, and interactions with motor vehicles,” Wright said.
Willamette Week’s reporting has concrete impacts that change laws, force action from civic leaders, and drive compromised politicians from public office.
