Xavier Sabb Commits to Oregon, Elevating Ducks’ 2027 Recruiting Class

Sabb cited a long relationship with coach Dan Lanning and Oregon’s championship goals as reasons for choosing the program, a move that strengthens the Ducks’ national standing.

Overview

  • Glassboro High receiver Xavier Sabb announced his commitment to Oregon on Friday, July 3, during a live Rivals broadcast.
  • Sabb is rated among the top receivers in the 2027 cycle by major services and is listed by Rivals Industry as the nation’s No. 5 wide receiver and No. 32 overall prospect.
  • He chose Oregon over finalists Tennessee, LSU and UCLA and said his bond with Dan Lanning plus Oregon’s pursuit of a national title drove his decision.
  • A multi-sport, two-way athlete and New Jersey Gatorade Player of the Year, Sabb posted about 59 catches for roughly 897 yards and 13 touchdowns as a junior and also plays defense, basketball and track.
  • Sabb is the latest of several early July commitments that have pushed Oregon’s class to about 24 pledges and into the top tier of national rankings, a surge that could help the Ducks compete more broadly for blue-chip recruits this month.
