Oregon commit Tradarian Ball stuns with hurdling highlight, dropping a defender

One of the benefits of recruiting as one of the best teams in the nation is the fact that you get to spend the football season watching some of the best high school players in the nation.

While we enjoyed 5-star Oregon commit Dakorien Moore dropping a defender with a nasty juke in Duncanville’s Week 1 game last week, this week it’s Oregon’s 4-star 2026 RB Tradarian Ball who is turning heads for what he did on the field.

On Thursday, Ball used an impressive spin move to drop one defender and then evaded another with a sky-high hurdle. He was tripped up before the end zone, but it still gave us an entertaining highlight.

Ball is one of the Ducks’ highest-rated players in the 2026 class, rated as the No. 35 overall player in the class and the No. 3 RB in the nation. When he was in Eugene for the annual Saturday Night Live recruiting camp earlier this summer, he left as one of the most impressive players, showing off his pass-catching abilities as well as his rushing prowess.

Over the next two years, we will undoubtedly see more highlight-worthy plays from Ball.
