Dan Lanning’s Oregon football program continues to make significant strides in the recruiting landscape with the latest addition of four-star offensive tackle Kodi Greene, who has committed to the Ducks for the 2026 class. Greene, widely regarded as one of the top offensive linemen in the nation, announced his decision live on the 247Sports YouTube Channel on Monday afternoon, marking a major boost for Oregon’s recruiting efforts.
Oregon’s coaching staff has been relentless in their pursuit of Greene, establishing a strong rapport with him early in the recruiting process. Their dedication and ability to build a meaningful relationship with Greene have proven pivotal in securing his commitment.
Greene’s enthusiasm for Oregon was evident in his comments, highlighting the distinctive atmosphere he experienced during his visits. “What always stands out to me is the energy at Oregon,” Greene noted. “It’s just a different vibe there. You can tell the coaches love being there. Lanning always brings that energy, too.”
Greene, who stands nearly 6-foot-6 and weighs around 290 pounds with an impressive 80-inch wingspan, is set to make a significant impact at the collegiate level. He transferred to Mater Dei for the offseason, a move that will place him against a challenging national schedule, further showcasing his skills. According to 247Sports’ Greg Biggins, Greene is comparable to current Duck Josh Conerly Jr. He brings a rare blend of physicality and athleticism to the table. His ability to dominate in the run game and effectively handle speed rushers in pass protection makes him a standout prospect.
Biggins praised Greene’s agility, noting his proficiency in getting to the second level as a run blocker and his adeptness at picking up stunts and twists in pass protection. Greene’s mobility and football IQ are expected to make him a multi-year starter at the college level. Depending on how his athleticism develops, he could either remain at right tackle or transition to guard, where he could become a dominant interior lineman. His potential for an NFL career adds to his already impressive profile.
With Greene’s commitment, Oregon’s 2026 recruiting class now includes four verbal commitments. Alongside Greene, the class features four-star running back Tradarian Ball, four-star quarterback Jonas Williams, and four-star defensive lineman Tony Cumberland. The Ducks’ class currently ranks No. 5 nationally, with a score of 106.03 points according to 247Sports.
Greene is ranked as the No. 28 prospect in the country overall, the No. 4 offensive tackle, and the No. 3 player in California, solidifying his status as a key player in Oregon’s recruiting class.
