Oregon Football among top schools for 5-star TE Mark Bowman

When it comes to elite tight ends in the 2026 recruiting class, the Oregon Ducks are currently sitting pretty, with a commitment from 5-star Kendre Harrison, the No. 2 ranked TE in the class.

They don't appear to be satisfied, though.

While Harrison is an elite player, Dan Lanning and his staff are continuing to push for more, recruiting 5-star TE Mark Bowman hard over the past few months. Bowman is rated by the 247Sports Composite as the No. 16 overall player in the 2026 class, and the No. 1 TE in the nation.

On Thursday, Bowman announced his top schools, placing the Ducks in the bunch. Alongside Oregon are the Georgia Bulldogs, Miami Hurricanes, Ohio State Buckeyes, Ole Miss Rebels, USC Trojans, Texas Longhorns.

As a player from Mater Dei in California, the Ducks are in a good position, seeing as they have formulated a strong pipeline from the area over the years under Dan Lanning. We will see if Oregon can stay in the mix down the road despite already having a top-ranked TE prospect in the class.
