Earlier this month, Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks got the great news that 5-star edge-rusher Richard Wesley was committing to them. Since then, though, things have gone downhill.

Just a day after the commitment, Wesley’s father made headlines. He explained that there was still a lot of work to be done on the NIL front before signing day with Wesley and the Ducks. Earlier this week, Wesley announced a number of official visits, one being to the Ohio State Buckeyes in August for their game against the Texas Longhorns.

Now, a day later, it appears that Wesley has decommitted from the Ducks. According to On3’s Chad Simmons, Wesley has asked to be removed from Oregon’s commitment list in the 2025 class as he continues to figure out his recruitment. 247Sports no longer has Wesley listed as a member of Oregon’s class, either.

The 247Sports Composite rates the 6-foot-5, 250-pound EDGE as the No. 14 player in the 2026 class and the No. 2 EDGE in the nation.

Without Wesley in the mix, for now, the Ducks have fallen to No. 27 in the 2026 national rankings. While the 5-star EDGE isn’t technically committed now, there’s still a chance that he reconsiders and comes back to Oregon before all is said and done.
