Oregon Eyes Future RB Makai Buchanan

Oregon Ducks are already eyeing the future with rising eighth grader Makai Buchanan, a running back from Victor Valley High, who’s already got an offer despite being years away from college. Coach Samp emphasized patience, keeping focus on the 2028 class, but Buchanan’s early production—698 rushing yards and 8 TDs as a freshman—shows serious potential. With Dan Lanning’s program dominating recruiting rankings and building a powerhouse class, Oregon’s long-term strategy is paying off, and Buchanan could be a key piece in their next big recruiting wave.
