5- Star Jett Washington’s College Football Destination Almost Confirmed Amid Oregon, USC & Alabama Battle

Jett Washington is quickly wrapping up his recruitment saga this spring. The five-star safety from Las Vegas, Nevada, garnered significant attention when he made the decision to transition into the collegiate era. He’s taking back-to-back trips to the campuses, introspecting on the nitty-gritty of his projected future in a comparative light. The USC Trojans and the Crimson Tide have already had their chance to swoop him in after his recent visits to Lincoln and Tuscaloosa, respectively.

But another top favorite on the list, the Big 10 powerhouse, topped them all after leaving the best impression on the kid following their epic Ohio State beatdown back in the fall. They will be up again to host Washington shortly on their campus. Expect nothing but an early heartbreak for Lincoln Riley and Kalen DeBoer.

Dan Lanning has the ball in his court. The Ducks are in the mix to land the top safety in the 2026 cycle. Carrying the elite Kobe Bryant genes, Washington bragged about nearly 30 offers from top-tier programs. But he keeps Alabama and Oregon as his top two choices after a relentless surge. Talking about the Ducks, Jett told ON3, “It was a very good visit and overall experience for me and my family. I got to watch practice, see the scrimmage, meet with the coaches, and see the campus.”

He was referring to his first visit to Oregon, where he got the chance to see and analyze their scrimmage and got a close look at the culture and environment. “Talking with Coach Hamp (Chris Hampton), watching the team scrimmage, and just getting a feel for the environment were things that stood out to me,” the key defensive anchor out of Nevada continued, putting the Ducks on a pedestal. As per the sources, he is looking to fix another official visit with Coach Lanning. The date is uncertain, but the Ducks have a distinct advantage right now.
