The Oregon Ducks scored a major recruiting victory on Saturday as elite 2025 prospect Cameron Holmes officially announced his commitment to Dana Altman and the Ducks. The 6-foot-6 shooting guard from Arizona chose Oregon over a host of national programs, including Arizona, Texas, and Kansas, giving the Ducks a marquee addition to their 2025 recruiting class.
Holmes, a five-star talent ranked among the top shooting guards in the country, is widely recognized for his dynamic scoring ability, length, and high basketball IQ. He’s the younger brother of Dayton star DaRon Holmes II, and has carved out his own path as one of the most versatile perimeter players in his class.
“I felt like Oregon was the right fit for me, both as a player and as a person,” Holmes said during his announcement. “Coach Altman and the staff made me feel like a priority from the beginning, and I believe in the vision they have for me and for the program.”
Holmes’ commitment signals a major win for Altman, who continues to show his ability to recruit at a high level in a competitive national landscape. The Ducks made Holmes a focal point of their 2025 class early, and the consistency of their communication, coupled with a strong campus visit, helped seal the deal.
“Cameron is the type of player who changes a program,” one West Coast recruiting analyst said. “He’s a long, smooth scorer who can defend multiple positions and create his own shot. He’s also an unselfish playmaker who understands how to play within a system.”
Holmes brings a polished offensive game with the ability to score from all three levels. His length and quickness allow him to be a disruptive perimeter defender, and his basketball pedigree gives him an edge in understanding the pace and flow of high-level competition.
With Holmes in the fold, Oregon’s 2025 recruiting class now has a true headliner. His presence could attract other elite prospects and helps solidify Oregon’s national recruiting momentum heading into next season.
Dana Altman praised Holmes’ decision, calling him “a perfect fit for the culture and the future we’re building at Oregon.”
“We’re thrilled to welcome Cameron to the Duck family,” Altman said in a statement. “He’s not only a special talent but a high-character young man who will make an immediate impact on and off the court.”
As the Ducks prepare for another competitive run in the Pac-12 and beyond, the addition of Cameron Holmes gives fans every reason to be excited about the program’s direction and long-term potential.
