Oregon lands OLB Anthony Jones, ranked 27th in ESPN 300 - ESPN

Oregon secured a major late-July boost in the 2026 class on Thursday when four-star outside linebacker Anthony Jones, No. 27 in the ESPN 300, announced his commitment to the Ducks on «The Pat McAfee Show.»

Jones, a versatile defender from Mobile, Alabama, is ESPN's No. 2 outside linebacker and No. 1 recruit in the state of Alabama in the 2026 class. He chose the Ducks over Alabama and Texas A&M, landing as the fourth-ranked of 11 ESPN 300 pledges in Oregon's 2026 recruiting class.

The son of Alabama fans, Jones grew up admiring former Crimson Tide stars such as Derrick Henry and Will Anderson. Jones told ESPN that he developed deep relationships with the coaching staffs at Alabama and Texas A&M throughout his process, but that his commitment was swayed to the Ducks by the program's consistent contact and recent defensive pipeline to the NFL.

«They've been coming to see me and made me a real priority,» Jones told ESPN. «Coach Dan Lanning and [defensive coordinator] Tosh Lupoi, they have a history of coaching edges and getting guys to the league with their NFL scheme.»

Behind five-stars Kendre' Harrison (No. 12 overall), Immanuel Iheanacho (No. 13) and Jett Washington (No. 21), Jones now stands as the fourth top 30 pledge in Oregon's latest class, which currently sits at No. 10 in ESPN's latest class rankings for the 2026 cycle.

Designated as an outside linebacker in the 2026 ESPN 300, Jones projects to become a multi-positional edge defender when he joins the Ducks in 2026. He was credited with 86 tackles with 16 sacks in his junior season at St. Paul's Episcopal School (Alabama) in 2024, where Jones plays across the front seven and also features as a red zone target and goal-line wildcat quarterback.
