5-Star TE Kendre Harrison Commits to Oregon; 2026 Recruit Will Also Play CBB

The Oregon Ducks are scoring wins on and off of the field.

Hayes Fawcett of On3 Sports reported Saturday that five-star tight end Kendre Harrison has announced his commitment to play for the Ducks. He will also play on the men's basketball team at Oregon.

Harrison hails from Reidsville, North Carolina and has received 30 collegiate offers. He chose Oregon over schools like North Carolina, Tennessee and Alabama.

Harrison is the No. 1 tight end in the Class of 2026, the No. 2 player from North Carolina and the No. 9 overall player in the country, per 247 Sports' composite rankings. He possesses a 6'7'', 243-pound frame and is considered a four-star prospect as a power forward.

He is the eighth commit of Oregon's 2026 football class and the first for its basketball class. The football class is currently ranked No. 1 nationally and he slides in behind tackle Kodi Greene as the second-best player in the class, per 247 Sports.

Oregon already has the No. 8 class in 2025 and is off to an 11-0 start to the 2024 season. While Harrison won't head to campus for a couple more years, his commitment still shows that the Ducks will remain a force in the Big Ten for years to come.
