Summary
Oregon Ducks are already eyeing the 2029 recruiting class, with standout sophomore running back Makai Buchanan leading the charge. Already boasting 31 Division I offers, Buchanan recently visited Eugene and connected with running backs coach Ra’Shaad Samples, a key architect of Oregon’s rising recruiting machine. Samples, who joined in 2024, has already landed five-star talent like Dakorien Moore and helped build a 2025 class with immediate impact players. With Buchanan’s top-three list including USC, Georgia, and Ohio State, Oregon’s Big Ten West Coast status makes them a serious contender. The Ducks are clearly playing the long game, with future commitments like CaDarius McMiller (2027) and Tradarian Ball (2026) already in place — all under Samples’ strategic guidance.
