After adding a seventh commitment in the 2019 class, the Ducks now sit in the top 25 of the recruiting rankings. Eugene (Ore.) Sheldon tight end Patrick Herbert commitment bumped the Ducks up from 27th to 22nd.

The Ducks now sit with a 247Sports Composite score of 124.88 with the addition of Herbert.

Oregon and Mario Cristobal will look to improve upon their 2018 recruiting class which ended up as the No. 16 ranked class in the 2018 cycle. Although not reaching a No. 12 ranking, which the Ducks reached three time in 2004, 2010, and 2011, Oregon ended 2018 with the second highest class composite score in school history. Only the 2011 class which featured De'Anthony Thomas was ranked higher.

The 254.16 composite score reached by the Oregon class will not be easy to best but the 2019 class already has a head start. Oregon landing a commitment from Santa Ana (Calif.) Mater Dei linebacker Mase Funa gives the Ducks more points than any player in the 2018 class. Funa is ranked as the No. 37 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite while 2018's top signee Penei Sewell checked in as the No. 57 prospect in the class.

Oregon will have the potential to make a serious jump in both the composite class score and 2019 team recruiting rankings in the next week. Two Mater Dei prospects cornerback Jeremiah Criddell and all-purpose back Sean Dollars will be making their commitment on Sunday, May 20th and the Ducks are heavy 247Sports Crystal Ball favorites for both.

If the Ducks can add commitments from both Dollars and Criddell, the composite class score would go from 124.88 to 180.40, good for 10th overall in the current team rankings. The other top Oregon prospects with scheduled commitments are Bellflower (Calif.) St John Bosco defensive back Chris Steele and Largo (Fla.) Defensive tackle Jaquaze Sorrells. Adding those two summer commitments would give the Ducks 234.20 points in the 247Sports composite class score, which would be good for the Ducks sixth highest recruiting class in program history with only 11 commits.

Now moving closer to February, if the Ducks were to land all of the prospects they are currently favored in the Crystal Ball, they would hit a composite class score of 282.53 and that is only with 15 potential commits.

*Who does Oregon lead for in the Crystal Ball?*

The Ducks are already on pace for a top class and if the momentum continues, Oregon could finally break through and land a top 10 class nationally and potentially even the best class in school history.
