Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted May 7, 2023 The list who offered him was vast, and he is a 4-Star at Rivals as well. Top 2024 Corner Picks Oregon Over USC, Alabama, Michigan and Ohio State! “Ultimately what stood out to me is that Oregon is a school where I can achieve my dreams on and off the field. Coach Meat and coach Tosh have built a good defense in Oregon and I know that I can do very great things at Oregon. Also, coach Lanning and the rest of the staff has treated me and my family with much love and it is unlike no other. Coach Meat and I have built a great relationship and I have trust in that man 100% that he will get me where I want to be and that is the NFL. Oregon has also been a dream school of mine growing up and it is so surreal that this is all happening.” 1 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 3 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Boy what a list. Oregon now has 11 verbals for 2024, with seven of them being 4/5-Stars on Rivals!

A great get for the Ducks. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywarduck No. 5 Share Posted May 7, 2023 Pretty amazing to see an elite athlete from across the country commit to the Ducks after seeing all the other top programs. The young man could've stayed close to home, or gone to any of the other schools, but chose Oregon. This is another huge indicator on just how effective Lanning and staff are at recruiting. It is also another signal of what the student athletes are seeing with the culture Lanning is developing. Commitments like this make me less iffy in my believe Lanning is the real deal, and the future looks bright. Welcome Ify, keep working hard toward your dreams! 1 1 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 6 Share Posted May 7, 2023 This new verbal attends the same High School as Rivals 4-Star QB recruit Michael Van Buren that the Ducks are pursuing. 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woundedknees No. 7 Share Posted May 7, 2023 If-Y, were the King of the corner... Not prince, not Duke, just KING! If all this talent committing to Oregon's dB corps sticks, and develops to its apparent potential, the Duck No Fly Zone will be quite entertaining, to put it mildly. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There aren't really many powerhouse teams anywhere nearby. Nashville is really far away, like 10 hours. Columbus is about 5 or 6 hours or so away I'd guess. The University of Maryland generally has good programs, but Oregon is a much bigger brand. But the DC Metro produces more basketball players, so I guess it should be more of a focus for our scouts for that sport. Georgetown has fallen off the map, and Maryland is sometimes hit or miss. UVA is once again a powerhouse in basketball after disappearing after Y2K, but their football program isn't even competing with teams like the Ducks. UNC, maybe. Anyway, my point is that Oregon needs to open up a satellite recruiting office in D.C., the land of the lobbyists! Stake claim where there is taxation without representation! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
