CONFIRMED: Linkon Cure will be in Eugene this weekend

5-star tight end Linkon Cure has confirmed he’ll be visiting Eugene this weekend, despite rumors that he might not make the trip. This is big news for Oregon since missing out on this visit could have ended their chances with him. With Cure officially heading to campus, Oregon’s recruitment of him stays alive, and they’re ready to do everything they can to flip him.

The Kansas State commit is close to making his final decision and wants to give Oregon one last look before he signs. Oregon’s #1 ranking and undefeated season only helps them, especially since Oregon's offense uses tight ends in creative ways. Cure could see himself fitting well in Oregon’s system, which would give him plenty of opportunities on the field.

Getting Cure to Eugene is a huge win for Oregon’s coaching staff. Right now, they don’t have any tight ends committed in this recruiting class, and Cure is their top target. Oregon’s coaches will be doing everything they can this weekend to make him feel at home and convince him to choose the Ducks.

By the end of this visit, we should have a better sense of where Cure is leaning. For now, just getting him to campus keeps Oregon in the game, and they’ll make the most of this chance to show why he belongs in their program.
