Sources: Ducks release Dallas Wilson; recruit to join Gators

Oregon released four-star wide receiver Dallas Wilson from his financial aid agreement Thursday, sources told ESPN, two weeks after ESPN’s No. 39 overall prospect signed with the Ducks at the start of the early signing period.

The 6-foot-4 Wilson, from Tampa, Florida, submitted his request for release Tuesday. He sought proximity to home because of the health of a family member, sources told ESPN, and Oregon formally accepted the release Thursday.

Wilson now plans to sign with Florida and intends to enroll next month, his agent, Vernell Brown Jr. of EL1TE Sports Management Group, said.

Wilson is ESPN’s No. 7 wide receiver prospect in the 2025 class and was the fifth-ranked recruit in Oregon’s incoming recruiting class, which closed the early signing period at No. 1 by ESPN . A speedy, big-play vertical threat, Wilson caught 130 passes for 2,423 yards and 28 touchdowns across three varsity seasons at Tampa Bay Tech (Florida) High School.

Wilson became the first member of coach Dan Lanning’s 2025 class when he committed to the Ducks on Jan. 17, 2023. He spent the next 22 months among the top prospects in a star-studded Oregon class, which also includes No. 1 overall wide receiver Dakorien Moore and four-star pass-catcher Cooper Perry (No. 196).
