According to 247Sports, Mailangi took official visits to the California Golden Bears and the SMU Mustangs before visiting Eugene on June 19.The offensive line recruit posted back in February that the Ducks were his first official visit that he scheduled on the calendar, showing that Oregon has been consistently a priority for him.

June already brought a much-needed linebacker commitment from Satele and saw edge rusher Rashad Streets move to five-star status, while receiver Dakota Guerrant provided the Ducks with a five-star on offense.More five-stars might be on the way. Mailangi wasn’t the only prediction Oregon has received following recent official visits, with five-star receiver Xavier Sabb and five-star cornerback Hayden Stepp also predicted to commit to the Ducks.Lanning could add three more commits to his 2027 class in the coming weeks if the predictions end up accurate and recruiting announcements are made sooner rather than later.

In the 2027 cycle, he currently has commitments from three-star offensive tackle Avery Michael, four-star interior offensive lineman Gus Corsair and four-star offensive tackle Cameron Wagner.Oregon is in a good position with five-star offensive lineman Ismael Camara, who is trending toward the Ducks despite canceling all of his official visits. If Terry can land both Mailangi and Camara, he’d have five offensive linemen in the 2027 recruiting class.Terry earned a commitment from a five-star in Oregon’s pervious recruiting cycle. Offensive tackle Immanuel Iheanacho is set to join the program in 2026 as a true freshman after being the crown jewel of the most recent recruiting class.The Ducks have the opportunity to have five-star offensive linemen commit in consecutive recruiting classes if they land Camara. Being able to hang on to the current commitments and potentially add a couple more would continue to push the future of the unit in a favorable position, as players like center Iapani Laloulu are anticipated to run out of eligibility.Sign up to our free newsletter and follow us on Facebook, X and Instagram for the latest news.
