4-star Oregon commit Xavier Lherisse makes big recruiting decision official
The Oregon Ducks are in the middle of a busy time in the world of recruiting, with top-ranked players taking official visits and making their commitment announcements almost every day now.
Earlier this week, one of Oregon's commits in the 2026 class, 4-star safety Xavier Lherisse, made a significant announcement on his social media, declaring that he was cancelling all of his future official visits that had been planned, and locking in with the Ducks.
Lherisse stands at 5-foot-10, 185 pounds, and is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 362 player and No. 32 safety in the 2026 class. He was in Eugene earlier this month for an official visit, and obviously saw enough to shut down his recruitment and tell all other schools who were pursuing him not to waste their time.
This is the second big announcement that Oregon got from a blue-chip safety this week, with the other coming on Thursday night when 5-star Jett Washington, the No. 18 player and No. 2 safety in the class, announced his commitment to the Ducks.
Washington is the top-ranked safety to sign with the Ducks in Oregon history, and the 16th-ranked overall player to ever join the Ducks.
Later on Friday, 5-star safety Joey O'Brien is expected to announce his commitment between Oregon and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, as well.
