Oregon Football to host No. 1 LB in 2026 class on official visit this week The Oregon Ducks' list of official visitors this weekend to kick off the month of June was already star-studded, but it got even more so on Wednesday morning. According to multiple reports, 5-star linebacker Tyler Atkinson, the No. 1 ranked LB in the 2026 class, will be taking an official visit to Eugene this weekend, checking out Dan Lanning and the Ducks. Atkins stands at 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, and is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 9 overall player in the nation. Atkinson has had a good relationship with Lanning and his staff over the last year, but this visit will be a great opportunity for him to ingratiate himself in the culture at Oregon and see what it is like to be in Eugene. He will also have a chance to join some other elite prospects on campus, with the likes of 5-star Brandon Arrington, 5-star Richard Wesley, 5-star Calvin Russell, and 5-star Joey O'Brien all taking OVs to see the Ducks as well. Atkinson took an OV to Clemson last weekend, but doesn't have any other official visits on the schedule for this summer as of yet. He is still being recruited by the likes of Georgia, Ohio State, and Alabama.
