ESPN’s No. 38 recruit LB Wyatt commits to Oregon
Oregon’s defense received a significant boost Friday as outside linebacker Nasir Wyatt, ESPN’s No. 38 recruit in the 2025 class and No. 2 player from California, announced his commitment to play for the Ducks.
Wyatt, who plays for Southern California power Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California, chose Oregon over Tennessee and Texas, where he also took visits. He told ESPN that the experience Oregon defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi and coach Dan Lanning had in developing top outside linebackers steered him toward the program.
“Tosh, he already has a plan put in store for me that allows me to do everything I do best,” Wyatt told ESPN. “When I go up there, he’s going to be able to teach me so much about the game, just because him and Lanning have so much edge background. [Lanning] being the defensive coordinator at Georgia, he had Travon Walker and all those guys from that defense that went in the first round. Having him at Oregon as the head coach, it’s having two defensive-minded coaches to better my edge skills.
“I couldn’t pass up on the opportunity.”
The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Wyatt had 14 sacks and 21 tackles for loss last season for Mater Dei. He said both Lupoi and Lanning made comparisons between his game and those of players from their past stops, such as Alabama’s Rashaan Evans, whom Lupoi coached as a Tide assistant, and Georgia’s Nolan Smith.
“Coach Lanning said a lot of my measurements resemble [Smith] and not your typical 6-5 guys, but they can still make it up at 6-2, 6-3, 220, 230, but be able to make it fly, that’s what Tosh and Lanning are looking for,” Wyatt said. “Looking at every college and how they wanted me to play in their defense, Oregon just had a different energy and a different feel.”
PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — The Oregon Department of Forestry is asking Oregonians to be careful when disposing of yard debris this spring.

“There have already been 23 escaped debris burns for a total of 83 acres reported on ODF-protected land in 2026,” the agency said.
The agency said that at this time last year, it had responded to 37 escaped burns.
“More than 70% of wildfires every year in Oregon are human-caused, with escaped debris burns topping the list,” ODF said. “With record-low snowpack and an abnormally warm winter, forecasters are anticipating a hotter and drier summer than usual.”
The Central Oregon District of ODF has already declared the start of fire season.
On May 14, fire restrictions will go into effect for all Bureau of Land Management lands in Oregon and Washington.
“We are increasingly concerned that 2026 could rival the most extreme years on record for heat and dryness in the Pacific Northwest,” said Jeff Fedrizzi, assistant chief of operations for the Pacific Northwest, U.S. Wildland Fire Service. “Every visitor must understand that even one small spark can lead to a costly and destructive fire in these high-impact conditions.”
Officials say the restrictions will help reduce the risk of human-caused fires. BLM officials say anyone who violates the prohibition could be fined up to $100,000 and/or face up to 12 months in prison.
More information on fire season is available on the ODF website.
The Bureau of Land Management website has additional information on fire restrictions and closures.

PORTLAND, Ore. — The Oregon DMV issued a warning for drivers, saying scammers are still sending out fake text messages trying to steal money from people.
State DMV officials say it is part of a nationwide scam that’s been happening for nearly two years.
The fake text messages often come from international phone numbers or non-government email addresses.
In the messages, the scammers threaten to suspend car registration or driving privileges if a person doesn’t pay.
If you get this message, the DMV asks that you don’t click on any links or respond. Simply report it to the Federal Trade Commission or delete it.
