Overview

  • After pledging to Oregon on May 10, Wesley has lined up official visits to Oregon on June 6, Texas on June 20, Ohio State on August 30, and Texas A&M on a date to be determined.
  • His visit to Columbus coincides with Ohio State’s Week 1 game against Texas, boosting the Buckeyes’ chance to sway the No. 2 EDGE prospect.
  • Oregon coach Dan Lanning has already lost 5-star QB Jared Curtis and OT Jackson Cantwell this spring, intensifying the Ducks’ recruiting challenges.
  • Wesley is rated the Class of 2026’s No. 2 EDGE rusher and No. 14 overall recruit, and he holds offers from 24 programs.
  • Reports that his family was unaware of the May commitment and unresolved NIL discussions have left Wesley’s pledge in flux.
