Oregon Lands Four‑Star Tight End Anthony Cartwright

Overview

• Anthony Cartwright, a 6-foot-5, 235-pound four-star tight end from Detroit Country Day, publicly committed to Oregon on Sunday, June 28, 2026, choosing the Ducks over Michigan, Michigan State, LSU, Stanford and Miami.
• Cartwright said long recruiting conversations and Drew Mehringer’s promotion to offensive coordinator were decisive in his choice because Mehringer began his recruitment and now calls the plays.
• Recruiting services list Cartwright around No. 408 overall and No. 20 at tight end, and he is a multi-sport athlete with a 3.8 GPA who also plays baseball and basketball.
• His pledge raises Oregon’s 2027 class total to 21 commitments but did not move the program’s national ranking, which remains No. 6 while holding the top class among Big Ten programs so far.
• The addition strengthens Oregon’s tight end depth and coach-driven recruiting pitch, though national standings could change if other high-profile targets such as Xavier Sabb or Ismael Camara announce decisions in the coming weeks.
