The tight end position has quietly become one of the more important parts of Oregon’s offense over the past several seasons.
Earlier today in my preview of the tight end position for the 2026 season, I looked at what the Ducks return and how the room is beginning to transition into its next phase. Jamari Johnson steps in as the most experienced option after a 510 yard season, while elite freshman Kendre Harrison arrives in Eugene with the kind of size and athletic profile that immediately turns heads. Penn State transfer Andrew Olesh adds another layer of potential as Oregon continues building depth at the position.
But for a program like Oregon, roster construction is never just about the players currently on the field. It is about maintaining a pipeline.
Today we will take a closer look at the next wave of prospects Oregon is targeting at tight end. While the preview earlier today focused on the players already in the room, Recruiting the Future shifts the conversation forward to the players who could shape the position two or three seasons from now.
Let’s dive in.
