The Ducks just keep rolling on the recruiting trail. 

After landing a commitment from former Ole Miss safety Tysheem Johnson earlier this week, 2024 Yuma (Ariz.) Yuma Catholic edge rusher Jaxson Jones has committed to Oregon.

Jones was on a visit to Oregon over the weekend, which came on the heels of him de-committing from Washington during the week. 

Listed at 6'3", 230 pounds, he shined for the Yuma Catbolic defense in 2022, recording 17 sacks and 22 tackles for loss. He chose Oregon over offers from other offers from Michigan, USC, Notre Dame and Utah among others.

The Arizona native is rated a 3-star (0.8506) recruit according to the 247Sports Composite. The same system ranks him the No. 611 player nationally, the No. 41 edge rusher and the No. 11 recruit in Arizona.

His commitment fills a position of need for the Ducks as Tosh Lupoi and Dan Lanning continue adding pieces to get after the quarterback, which they also prioritized in the 2023 haul. Following this addition, Oregon's 2024 recruiting class now has five commitments, with Jones being the first defensive recruit to join the fold. 

The class is headlined by 4-star Long Beach (Calif.) Millikan wide receiver Jordan Anderson. 

Dan Lanning and the Ducks have quickly made Arizona a priority on the recruiting trail. After signing three prospects from the Grand Canyon State in 2023: CB Cole Martin, DL My'Keil Gardner and DL A'mauri Washington, the Ducks are heavily recruiting a number of players in 2024.

Prospects to watch from the 2024 class in Arizona include QB Dylan Raiola (Chandler), QB Luke Moga (Sunnyslope), EDGE Elijah Rushing (Salpointe) and RB Christian Clark (Mountain Pointe). 

Other big names on campus visiting Oregon this weekend include 2023 ATH Nyckoles Harbor and 2024 linebacker Justin Williams, who placed the Ducks in his top six schools earlier this month.
