The 2027 recruiting cycle is in full swing, and the Oregon Ducks are on the prowl for their next standout quarterback. With Dante Moore likely heading to the NFL Draft after the upcoming season, Head Coach Dan Lanning and Offensive Coordinator Drew Mehringer are setting their sights on the future.
Among the top prospects in their crosshairs is four-star quarterback Andre Adams. This talented young signal-caller, ranked 12th in his class by Rivals, has circled April 11 on his calendar as his commitment day.
Adams recently made an unofficial visit to Eugene on March 13, and followed it up with a trip to Virginia Tech. Before making his final decision, he plans to check out Colorado and Florida State.
Adams is weighing offers from six schools: Oregon, Colorado, Florida State, Virginia Tech, Kentucky, and Mississippi State. Right now, Kentucky and Mississippi State seem to have the edge, but the Ducks still have time to make a compelling case.
Adams hails from Nashville and has been turning heads with his impressive stats at Antioch High School in Tennessee. As a junior, he threw for an eye-popping 3,418 yards and 35 touchdowns, with just one interception, completing 71% of his passes. And he's not just a threat through the air-Adams also rushed for 855 yards and 13 touchdowns, showcasing his dual-threat capabilities.
While landing Adams would be a big win for the Ducks, they’re also making strong moves to secure commitments from five-star quarterbacks Will Mencl and Jake Nawrot. Both are high on Oregon's wishlist, and the buzz around their potential commitments is only getting louder.
For Oregon, the next few weeks could be pivotal in shaping the future of their quarterback room. With several top-tier talents in play, the Ducks are poised to make some significant recruiting waves.
