Prince Tavizon Signs With The Oregon Ducks

December 9, 2025

Lincoln High School's defensive end Ernesto "Prince" Tavizon officially committed to play football at the University of Oregon during the early signing period, becoming the second consecutive player from Lincoln to join a major college program. The highly-recruited athlete, who reclassified as a 2026 recruit after an exceptional sophomore season, attracted interest from several elite universities including Notre Dame and Texas. Throughout his high school career, Tavizon demonstrated exceptional skills as both a pass rusher and power rusher, accumulating impressive statistics including over 190 total tackles across two seasons and making the game-winning sack that secured Lincoln's 2024 state championship.
