Latest Buzz on Numerous Oregon targets
RECRUITING
1/31/20252 min read
Oregon recently hosted their big Junior Day event, and the buzz coming out of the weekend is very positive. Here's the latest on numerous prospects in attendance as well as a few others.
5-star ATH Arandon Arrington
If you saw my interview with Arrington, he said Oregon is recruiting him as a cornerback. Going into the visit, Texas A&M and USC were the two front-runners, but coming out, Oregon has cemented themselves as major threats. Right now, I still give the edge to A&M, but he already confirmed that he's taking an official visit to Oregon on June 14th, so we'll see if the ducks can make another move.
4-star OL Tommy Tofi
Oregon is still the front-runner to land Tofi. He already has an official visit locked in for June 7th, and it looks like he's Oregon's to lose right now.
4-star RB Deshonne Redeaux
USC was the heavy favorite coming into this visit, and coming out I still think the Trojans are the team to beat. Oregon already has Tradarian Ball committed, so I don't know how hard Oregon is pushing here, but if they do sign two RBs, Redeaux is the most likely option.
5-star WR Chris Henry Jr
Not much has changed in this recruitment. He loves Ohio State and is still committed to them, but he loves Oregon too and the ducks will keep pushing. If this flip does happen, I don't think it will be for a while.
4-star LB Kenneth Goodwin
Goodwin was a surprise visitor last weekend and the ducks seem to have done a phenomenal job. I think Oregon has a slight lead in this recruitment right now, but I don't know where he stands on ducks board. Tristian Phillips is already committed and things are looking good for Talanoa Ili. If Oregon gets both of them, is there room for Goodwin?
4-star S Salesi Moa
Moa will take an official visit in June and it sounds like Oregon will be tough to beat. Out of Salesi Moa, Jett Washington, Chace Calicut, Jireh Edwards, and Blaine Bradford, I expect Oregon to get at least two of them. Right now I'm most confident in Moa and Edwards.
5-star QB Ryder Lyons
Lyons will take a 2 year mission before enrolling, but Oregon will still do everything they can to get him. A month or two ago I said Oregon had a better chance at landing Jared Curtis, now I think it's Ryder Lyons. USC and BYU are the other main contenders, but I think Oregon has reestablished themselves right back at the top along with both those schools.
