Oregon WR Commit Jordan Anderson Set for Important Return Trip to Eugene Jordan Anderson committed to Oregon in December but continues to hear from a handful of programs. We already knew the spring game visitor list was going to be impressive and the Ducks added a big name to that list on Sunday, as four-star Oregon wide receiver commit Jordan Anderson announced a return visit to Eugene. Anderson has been on fire this offseason, competing in 7on7 tournaments and dominating the camp circuit. Just last month he was named the Alpha Dog of the the OT7 Tournament in Austin by 247Sports and took home wide receiver MVP honors at the Rivals camp in Los Angeles. It's no surprise that Anderson is dominating everyone who lines up up in front of him, but his stellar performances have captured the attention of other schools, with Colorado, USC and Washington among schools still actively recruiting him.

For the most part, Duck fans should be incredibly proud of the teams they cheer on yearly. Consistently, they have a football team that ranks among the top 10-15 teams in the nation, sometimes better; they have a pair of basketball programs that have made multiple deep trips in the NCAA Tournament; they also have really solid baseball and softball program, and the track and field program is consistently among the best in the nation. Behind all of that are Nike and Uncle Phil Knight, who are inarguably among the best donors in the world of college athletics. So with all of that in mind, you would think that the Ducks have one of the top athletic departments in the Pac-12 if not the nation, right?
