Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 51 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Oregon Football 2024 Recruiting Hot Board: EDGE If you watched Oregon's defense in 2022 it didn't take long to notice a recurring theme. The Ducks couldn't get after the quarterback, totaling just 18 sacks on the year and getting shredded through the air. Dan Lanning and Tosh Lupoi signed a number of talented edge rushers in the 2023 recruiting class to try and fix that problem including Matayo Uiagalelei, Blake Purchase and Teitum Tuioti. They also added highly-coveted South Carolina transfer Jordan Burch from the transfer portal. Now we're taking a look at the top EDGE targets for Oregon in the 2024 recruiting class.

Malachi Durant is a top target for Oregon in the 2024 class and the Graham (Wash.) Graham-Kapowsin wide receiver made a return trip to Oregon this week. "They left a great impression," Durant said of the trip. "They showed me a bunch of stuff I haven't seen before. I got to talk with Dan Lanning. That was a great experience." Lanning has been a hit with recruits since the day he was hired but this trip gave the 6-foot-1 wideout a chance to get closer with the Oregon head coach. "He's a great guy.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 61 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Speedster Gary Bryant Jr. Could Be Difference-Maker for Oregon New Oregon offensive coordinator Will Stein has been open about his offense and his ability to spread the ball around amongst multiple receivers in it. That’s been a very attractive selling point to wide receivers since his arrival. One of the key components on offense is speed. Speed in the backfield, speed at receiver. While Oregon has worked on adding that element, there is still plenty of room for more additions. For Oregon, one of those answers is former USC wide receiver Gary Bryant. The Ducks have made Bryant a priority in this recruiting cycle which has resulted in an official visit and remaining a favorite as he enters decision time. But why would Bryant be a good fit at Oregon?

"USC, Oregon and Texas," Brooks said of who's recruiting him hardest. "It's been great," he said about Oregon's communication. "The O-line coach left so they got a new O-line. I'm building a relationship with him. It's a great relationship right now." Brooks doesn't have a date locked in for an Oregon visit but is planning to get out to Eugene. One of the coaches he's spoken with most at Oregon is new offensive line coach A'lique Terry. "Just building that relationship up with him," he said. "Getting the flow right. Having great talks." The Ducks have recruited Sierra Canyon before and have someone on the inside that's been in Brooks' ear. "One of our former players from Sierra Canyon Mike Woot (Michael Wooten), he just went out there. It's a great program. He tells me it's great for him and O-line, it's just O-line territory.

NJDuck Moderator No. 65 Share Posted April 7, 2023 War Daddy Recruit: Speed demon Gatlin Bair is a 'homegrown Idaho unicorn' coveted far and wide RARE Academy founder and coach with 208 Platinum Premier 7v7, Juss Jackson, first talked about Bair when he was a freshman, saying to keep an eye on the speedster. A year later, Bair was shining on the 7v7 circuit for Jackson and Williams-Rhodes and then earned WR MVP honors at the Gem State Showcase last summer in front of a slew of coaches. "Gatlin has the length you want, the speed, hands and the football IQ and sense for the game that you don’t normally find in Idaho," Jackson said. WHY GATLIN BAIR IS A NAME TO KNOW IN 2024 Speed kills. And Bair has plenty of it. The highest-rated prospect to ever come from the state of Idaho, out of tiny Burley (population: 12,000), Bair has big-city speed that has him among the most coveted recruits the Gem State has ever seen. Last weekend, at the Texas Relays, he ran a blazing 10.18 in the 100m, a personal best. Earlier this spring, he beat California's defending 100m and 200m champion, Rodrick Pleasant, an Oregon signee, in an indoor 60m race. But it's not just on the track where he shines- its on the football field too. As a junior, he caught 73 passes for 1,073 yards and had an impressive 18 touchdown receptions. He also averaged 70 yards a pass- he threw one pass all year, for a 70-yard touchdown and a perfect 1.000% completion percentage. Defensively, he added an interception and then averaged 35.6 yards a kickoff return. How big of a recruit is he in a national context? Bair is a four-star in the industry-generated 247Sports Composite Rankings, and is ranked highest in the industry at 247Sports, which puts him as the No. 40 overall player in the country, the highest a player from Idaho has been rated, the No. 9 receiver nationally in a loaded group of pass-catchers and the No. 1 prospect in Idaho in 2024. He has already been selected to play in the 2024 All-American Bowl in San Antonio. So yeah, Bair is big-time. OREGON DUCKS With Bair's track exploits, naturally Oregon is making a push for him. While he's an elite sprinter, track isn't the priority for him like other elite track athletes, but a year after signing Rodrick Pleasant, who is the fastest football player in California, Oregon wouldn't mind making it consecutive classes with an elite sprinter. Receivers coach Junior Adams coached Williams-Rhodes at Boise State and he has plenty of knowledge of the state of Idaho from his time with the Broncos. Adams has been running point on Bair's recruitment and in 2023 signed Bair's 7v7 teammate and fellow Idaho standout Kenyon Sadiq, a top 100 prospect nationally and the No. 1 prospect in Idaho in 2023. He wouldn't mind back-to-back No. 1 players from Idaho either. War Daddy Recruit: Speed demon Gatlin Bair is a 'homegrown Idaho unicorn' coveted far and wide 247SPORTS.COM The Northwest's No. 1 rated prospect Gatlin Bair has one of the most unique recruitments in the current cycle and is choosing between a who's who of elite programs.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 68 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Next Five Who Could Commit to Oregon Football in 2024 What's next for Oregon after landing Texas safety Aaron Flowers? It'd been a quite couple of months on the recruiting trail for Oregon. February and March came and went without new commitments and Jaxson Jones was the last player to commit to the Ducks at the end of January. That changed on Friday when Oregon landed a verbal commitment from Forney (Tex.) safety Aaron Flowers. He could be the start of a long string of commitments for Oregon in the spring and even heading into the summer months. Remember, the Ducks will hold their spring game on April 29 and likely bring in their best group of recruits since Dan Lanning was hired. I'm taking a look at five players that I think could be next to commit to Oregon. Keep in mind, I'm NOT predicting them right now or saying they will commit. They all have different decision timelines, but I'm pretty confident that Oregon leads for these guys. Find out who these five players are from an article by Max Torres in Ducks Digest.

Currently the Buckeyes lead the On3 RPM with nearly 97% chance to land Lockhart.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 73 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Luke Moga, fast-rising quarterback prospect, sets commitment date; Oregon the favorite? Class of 2024 quarterbacks are flying off the board - with 18 of the nation's top 21 signal-callers locking in verbal commitments. That flurry of activity has driven up the interest in a new crop of talented passers, including Sunnyslope (Arizona) three-star quarterback Luke Moga, whose stock appears to be skyrocketing. As a junior, the 6-foot-2, 190-pound signal-caller threw for 2,258 yards and 26 touchdowns with eight interceptions and added an additional 539 yards and five scores on the ground. While Oregon is set to both Pinnacle (Arizona) five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola and St. Frances (Maryland) four-star quarterback Michael Van Buren this month, Moga has emerged as a prime candidate for the Ducks. Furthermore, his commitment date coincides with a massive recruiting weekend for Oregon, aided by the program's spring game on April 29 and an Elite 11 regional camp event at Sheldon High School in Eugene on April 30.

NJDuck Moderator No. 77 Share Posted April 13, 2023 On3 Expert Logs Oregon Prediction for Four-Star ATH Last weekend Oregon hosted one of the top athletes in the country for a multi-day visit. Calabasas (Calif.) two-way star Aaron Butler is the nation’s No. 86 overall player and No. 4 ranked athlete in the country. The 5-foot-11, 165-pounder can play on both sides of the ball but prefers playing offense at wide receiver. Alabama, Georgia, Arizona and Colorado are four programs also in the mix for the versatile play-maker. However on Thursday morning, On3’s director of recruiting Chad Simmons, logged a prediction. Simmons talked about his decision to log a prediction for Oregon on ScoopDuck. “I’m told by a source that he had a “very good” visit to Eugene and that the Ducks will receive an OV.” Simmons had a prediction for Georgia previously before moving to Oregon. His confidence remains a bit low however, at 50% confidence currently. There are still two other predictions in favor of Georgia currently. But Simmons notes his official visit to Georgia this weekend is off the table for now. He’s set to take an official visit to Colorado the weekend of April 22. Could Oregon be in line for the speedster? Butler is currently talking about a July decision and right now the momentum seems to be in favor of Oregon.

The last seven days saw them pick up commitments from 4-star CB Aaron Flowers and 4-star DL Tionne Gray, as well as an in-state commitment from 3-star OL Trent Ferguson, moving them to well inside the top 10 rankings nationally. On top of that, a flurry of recruiting predictions has started to come in over the past couple of days, predicting that more high-end 4-star talent is on the way. On Thursday, 247Sports Recruiting Director Steve Wiltfong put in a prediction that Oregon would be the landing spot for 4-star WR Dillon Gresham. On Friday, Wiltfong and fellow 247Sports colleague Greg Biggins logged multiple predictions for the Ducks. Here’s more info on the players that Oregon is projected to land, and where that would leave them in the national rankings should it all come to fruition.

NJDuck Moderator No. 85 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Ducks land in top-5 for WR Gatlin Bair, No. 1 rated player in Idaho The Oregon Ducks landed the top-ranked player from Idaho during the 2023 class with ATH Kenyon Sadiq, one of the 100 best players in the nation. It appears that they are going back to the well, and recent news shows that they are in a good spot to get Idaho’s best once again in the 2024 class. On Sunday night, 4-star WR Gatlin Bair revealed his top five schools, keeping the Ducks in the mix along with a handful of others. Bair is rated as the No. 1 played in Idaho, as well as the No. 40 overall player in the nation, and the No. 9 WR in the 2024 class. Bair took a visit to Eugene earlier this year, and will likely find his way out to Oregon again this summer before making his ultimate decision.

NJDuck Moderator No. 91 Share Posted April 18, 2023 RUMOR: Oregon is emerging big-time for four-star WR Aaron Butler. 6'0" | 170 LBS | ATH | 2024 CALABASAS CALABASAS, C BUYING IT. There was a time a few months ago that it looked like it was only a matter of time until Georgia landed Butler’s commitment and I was even making preparations for that inevitability. It no longer feels that way. Maybe Georgia slowed down a tad on the four-star receiver from Calabasas, Calif., because the Bulldogs already have commitments from Ny Carr and NiTareon Tuggle with many other targets out there. But it’s also because Oregon has dramatically stepped it up with him. Butler had a phenomenal trip to Eugene over the weekend and now the Ducks probably have the slight edge for Butler, who impressed at the recent Under Armour Los Angeles Camp. 1 Tuesdays with Gorney: Buying and selling recruiting rumors OREGON.RIVALS.COM Are Nebraska and USC still in it for five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola, who is ranked No. 1 in the 2024 Rivals250?

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 92 Share Posted April 19, 2023 Four-Star LB Brayden Platt Names Top Eight Dan Lanning has definitely prioritized linebackers in this recruiting cycle. One of which is Yelm (Wash.) linebacker Brayden Platt. The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder is the nation’s No. 225 ranked player in the On3 Industry Rankings. Platt is the No. 4 ranked player from the state of Washington. On Tuesday he dropped his top eight which included Oregon. Surprisingly it did not include Washington. Currently Oregon leads the On3 RPM just slightly at 23%. USC is just behind the Ducks with 20% chance to land the four-star.

Pennsylvania Duck Author Moderator No. 93 Share Posted April 19, 2023 OL Devin Brooks finalizes third official visit, focused on top three Clackamas (Ore.) offensive lineman Devin Brooks has finalized his third official visit as he focuses on his final three. Brooks has had a solid top three for a couple of months of home-state Oregon, USC and Washington. He had previously lined up official visits to USC on June 16th and to Washington on June 24th. And now with offensive line coach A'Lique Terry firmly in place at Oregon, he's scheduled his visit to see the Ducks. "I'll be going to Oregon on June 10th for my official," said Brooks. Brooks said that Stanford made a push to crack the top three and expand it to a top four, but he's focused on the trio. "I had some time talking to coach Viane (Talamaivao) at Stanford when they offered me but I'm not as interested in Stanford and I'm focused on the three schools," said Brooks.
