Freshman Iapani Laloulu preparing to make first career start in Fiesta Bowl Iapani Laloulu never played center in youth football or at the high school level, but in about two weeks time the true freshman will likely make his first start at that very position. "Coming here from high school, I never thought I'd play center," he told media on Tuesday afternoon. "I'd never played center in my whole life until I got here." Commonly referred to by his middle name "Poncho", Laloulu began working at center during spring practice. As he tells it, his position coach, A'lique Terry, followed a hunch and surprised the freshman by asking him to take a rep there midway through camp. "I'm like 'Center? You're scaring me right now'," Laloulu recalled of that moment. "Bo is in the back too, and I'm like 'I've got to make sure nothing happens to Bo'." Laloulu has taken to the position well, and the Ducks are lucky for that. With Jackson Powers-Johnson skipping the Fiesta Bowl to get a jumpstart on his NFL career, Laloulu and left guard Marcus Harper have been sharing time there during bowl prep practices.

The first big day of the college football recruiting calendar comes on Wednesday, with the arrival of the early signing period. This gives high school prospects their first opportunity to put pen to paper and officially join their future teams. The Oregon Ducks should see a busy afternoon, with 23 current commits in the 2024 class, many of whom are expected to sign their national letters of intent on Wednesday, and plenty of whom plan on enrolling early as well. If we learned anything from Dan Lanning and his staff over the past couple of years, though, it would be smart to expect some fireworks on Wednesday, as well. A year ago, we saw the craziness that came from 5-star safety Peyton Bowen and also got a late commitment from 5-star EDGE Matayo Uiagalelei, as well as signing day flips from both Daylen Austin and Jayden Limar. Though high school recruits typically own the day, also have commonly seen transfer commitments take place as well, of which there could be several coming for the Ducks. So what could be on tap for the 2024 early signing period? That’s a question that everyone wants to know. While we can’t perfectly predict an answer, we’ve got a pretty good idea of what to expect.

Oregon Flips Offensive Line Transfer Who Committed To Colorado Last Week Matthew Bedford announced his commitment to Colorado last Tuesday, but the transfer quickly had a chance of heart. On Monday, the offensive tackle revealed that he's transferring to Oregon instead. Bedford thanked the Buffaloes in his announcement posted on social media. "The Colorado organization is so amazing that I made a decision too hastily before weighing all of my options," Bedford wrote. "However, upon reflection, I believe that the University of Oregon aligns perfectly with my long-term goals." Bedford started 38 of 41 games played for Indiana from 2019 to 2023.
