The Oregon Ducks were dealt a tough blow on Tuesday afternoon in the recruiting world, though not an unexpected one.
Four-star defensive lineman Tomuhini Topui announced that he would be decommitting from the Ducks and opening up his recruitment. Topui is rated by 247Sports as the No. 100 player in the 2026 class, and the No. 13 defensive lineman in the nation.
Standing at 6-foot-3, 320 pounds, Topui was projected to be a dominant player on the interior defensive line, coming up from Mater Dei to Eugene as part of the solid pipeline that Dan Lanning and his staff have established with the Monarchs. Oregon already has 5-star Mater Dei OT Kodi Greene committed in the 2026 class, and are after 5-star Mater Dei WR Chris Henry Jr. as well.
After the decommitment, Oregon falls to No. 4 in the 2026 recruiting rankings, which is as low as they have been in quite a while for this cycle. Following the loss of Topui and 4-star QB Jonas Williams, Oregon's class took a hit, but they are still considered among the favorites for guys like 5-star QB Jared Curtis, 5-star OT Jackson Cantwell, and many other top-end players in this class.
