Oregon Lands Lake Oswego Edge Josh Christensen

Overview

• Christensen announced his commitment to Oregon on June 19, choosing the Ducks over Oklahoma, Washington and California.
• The 6-foot-6, 250-pound Christensen is a three-star edge rusher from Lake Oswego High School who helped his team win a state championship and earned First-Team All-State honors.
• Recruiting services have moved Christensen up in recent weeks, with Rivals listing him as the No. 2 prospect in Oregon and the 247Sports Composite placing him among the top 700 nationally and top 60 at his position.
• His pledge gives Oregon commitments from the top four in-state prospects and brings the Ducks to roughly 19 total commits in the 2027 cycle, strengthening their in-state core.
• The decision reduces Washington's remaining defensive-line targets and could change how both programs allocate recruiting focus and depth-building for the defensive front over the summer.
