4-star LB Dylan Williams commits to Oregon Ducks

The Ducks added a huge piece to the defense on Friday, and filled a massive need in the recruiting cycle by landing 4-star linebacker Dylan Williams.

Rated as the No. 17 linebacker and No. 181 overall player in the 2024 class, Williams comes in as one of the top-rated defensive players in Oregon’s current class. He is also the second-highest-rated linebacker to commit to Oregon since Dan Lanning became the head coach, behind only Devon Jackson in 2022.

Williams, out of Long Beach, Calif., was at one time committed to USC early in his recruitment, but he de-committed and has been thought to be an Oregon lean ever since.

With the commitment, Oregon moved up one spot in the recruiting rankings, now sitting ahead of Penn State at No. 8. They are scheduled to see a potential commitment from 4-star linebacker Kamar Mothudi next week as well.
