The Oregon Ducks coaching staff is hard at work recruiting the quarterback position in the 2028 class, reportedly emerging recently among the favorites for four-star Tristin Gaines, who's scheduled a gameday visit this fall. But that's not stopping Dan Lanning and Co. from continuing to cast a wide net, as four-star passer Tommy Devany has scheduled a gameday visit as well in Eugene.
Devany, the No. 16 quarterback and No. 236 player overall in the 2028 class according to 247Sports Composite, will be in Eugene for the Ducks' Nov. 14 matchup against the Michigan Wolverines. He's also set to take gameday visits to California (Sept. 5), Arkansas (Sept. 26), Utah (Nov. 7) and Stanford (Nov. 28).
A Clovis, CA, native, Devany competes for Buchanan High
school and is the 18th-ranked player in the talent-rich state of California. As a sophomore in 2025, Devany completed 62% of his passes for 2,408 yards and 18 touchdowns while adding another three scores on the ground.

And the four-star is set to hit all four Power 4 conferences this season.

Standing 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, Devany collected a bevy of offers earlier this year, but appears to have narrowed his lift down to five with Oregon included. Having received the commitment of Will Mencl, the No. 4 quarterback in the 2027 class, it's not necessarily imperative for the Ducks to have a quarterback commit in the 2028 class.
After all, they survived without one in the 2026 class after four-star Bryson Beaver signed his letter of intent but entered the transfer portal and landed with the Georgia Bulldogs. Oregon has dipped into the transfer portal for both depth and starting-level talent, and could do so in the future.
But adding young recruits gives the Oregon coaching staff some insurance and depth in the quarterback room, plus the chance that a passer develops with a full years behind the scenes and is able to take the reins as an upperclassmen.
There's a possibility that Devany, coming in for a gameday visit during the 2026 season, could be that guy for the Ducks in the future.
