Oregon Lands Two Massive Defensive Commitments: How They Fit With Ducks.

Oregon football received commitments from 2025 linebacker Nasir Wyatt and transfer portal defensive tackle Derrick Harmon from Michigan State.

The Oregon Ducks football team has maintained its hot recruiting streak for top players. On Friday, Oregon coach Dan Lanning and the Ducks received commitments from 2025 linebacker Nasir Wyatt and transfer portal defensive tackle Derrick Harmon from Michigan State.

Wyatt is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound linebacker from Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California, with offers from Oregon, Alabama, Arizona, Auburn and Baylor. Wyatt, a consensus four-star prospect, is noted for his speed and pass-rushing abilities, both of which are important characteristics for Lanning’s ideal linebacker.

“Tosh [Lupoi], he already has a plan put in store for me that allows me to do everything I do best.,” Wyatt stated to ESPN.

Wyatt, who has a.96 rating in the 247 Sports Composite, is ranked as the No. 8 edge/outside linebacker in the 2025 high school class and should add significant depth to Oregon’s defense.

Aside from linebackers, Oregon’s interior defensive line was an area of need as it enters its debut season in the Big Ten.

Enter Michigan State transfer defensive tackle Derrick Harmon, who the Ducks just signed from the transfer portal.

Harmon was the No.1 ranked defensive tackle in the transfer portal before settling on the Ducks.

Standing 6-foot-5 and weighing 320 pounds, Harmon brings the size and grit necessary for a starter in one of the most physical conferences in college football. After losing Brandon Dorlus and Popo Aumavae (among others) from last season’s defensive line, Oregon acted quickly to replace their production, bringing in Houston transfer Jamaree Caldwell and now Harmon, both rated as four-star transfers by 247.

With the summer recruiting season picking up steam, Oregon will certainly look to add talent across the board as they pursue the best possible recruiting class. Transfer portal safety Peyton Woodyard from Alabama is slated to visit Oregon over the weekend as Lanning and Lupoi look to shore up one of the few remaining weaknesses on the Ducks’ roster.
