In the end, Oregon held on and closed the deal. The Ducks added a prospect ranked inside the top 50 in the country. It is a strong early signal for Oregon's 2027 class. Tennessean
Who Is Xavier Sabb? A Three-Sport Star From New Jersey
Sabb is listed as an athlete, meaning he is versatile enough to play multiple positions on the football field. He is 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, with the kind of size and skill that makes programs fight hard to land him. He plays three sports at Glassboro High School in New Jersey. Yahoo Sports
His ranking tells the story. No. 3 athlete in the nation and No. 44 overall in the 2027 class is elite company. Oregon landed a player many programs across the country were chasing. Knox News
What This Means for Tennessee's 2027 Recruiting Efforts
Losing Sabb stings for Tennessee. The Vols invested in an official visit on June 12, which is a significant recruiting resource. Missing on a top-50 prospect is a notable setback in a class that is still more than two years away from signing. DNJ
Tennessee still has time to recover. The early signing period for the 2026 class does not open until December 2-4, 2026. The 2027 class signing period is even further out, giving coaches room to find other top targets. Tennessean
Oregon Builds Early Momentum in 2027 Class
Oregon's landing of Sabb shows the Ducks are recruiting at a national level. Pulling a top-50 prospect out of the East Coast, away from SEC powers like Tennessee and LSU, is a big deal. It signals Oregon's reach under its current staff. Yahoo Sports
The 2027 class is in its very early stages. Commitments made now can change before the signing period. But securing a player ranked No. 44 in the country this early gives Oregon a strong foundation to build on. DNJ
