Oregon lands top prep safety, nephew of Kobe Bryant
The team wears a tribute to Spencer Webb on their helmets in 2023. Oregon landed a commitment from five-star safety Jett Washington, a nephew of the late NBA great Kobe Bryant.
Washington ranks as the No. 2 safety and No. 18 overall player in the 2026 recruiting class by 247 Sports.
The 6-foot-5, 210-pound prospect posted five interceptions and 38 tackles as a junior at Las Vegas powerhouse Bishop Gorman in 2024.
Washington chose coach Dan Lanning and the Ducks after also paying visits to Southern California and Alabama.
"I loved the way they treated me out there," Washington told ESPN. "My relationship with them has been going the right way ever since I started talking to them."
Like his famous uncle, Washington also plays basketball and helped Bishop Gorman win the Nevada Class 5A state title this season.
