Ducks extend offer to 2025 QB Akili Smith Jr., son of Oregon legend

 

One of Dan Lanning’s biggest points when taking over as the head coach of the Oregon Ducks was that he wanted to keep the family in Eugene tight and make sure that past alumni felt at home with the current regime.

 

He did a great job of making sure that happens this week, extending a scholarship offer to Akili Smith Jr., a 2025 quarterback out of California.

 

The name obviously rings a bell; Smith Jr. is the son of Oregon legend Akili Smith, who was the starting QB in Eugene for the 1997 and 1998 seasons. Smith threw for 45 touchdowns in his two seasons.

Oregon Legacy Akili Smith Jr. Discusses Ducks Offer
 

Will Stein and the Ducks recently extended an offer to a big-time Oregon legacy.

 

Smith towers over most at 6'6" and 205 pounds. The first play I saw from him was a beautiful deep pass down the sideline

that was turned into a touchdown. He already has seven reported offers including Michigan, Miami, Arizona and Fresno State.

 

"Super excited cause obviously my dad went there," he said of getting offered by Stein and the Ducks. "He's always shown

me Oregon and all that. Had me watch the games and stuff. Always fun to see them win, do the fight song."

Washington 2025 ATH Jonathan Epperson starts with flurry of Pac-12 offers

 

Auburn (Wash.) Riverside 2025 athlete Jonathan Epperson had a productive January.

The two-way standout landed five offers in the month of January- from Oregon, USC, Washington State, Oregon State and Nevada.

 

Originally from the Southeast, the offers are all from the West Coast and Epperson is thrilled with how things have gone.

 

Oregon started his recruitment with running backs coach Carlos Locklyn extending the offer.

"Coach Locklyn offered me as an athlete but more so as a linebacker," said Epperson.
