Latest Intel Before Signing Day
RECRUITING FOOTBALL
12/3/20242 min read
Early Signing Day is just two days away and Oregon is looking to add to it's 2025 class. Oregon recently secured commitments from 5-star Kendre Harrison, 4-star Bott Mulitalo, and 4-star Zac Stascausky, but this is just the beginning. There are still numerous targets on the board and Oregon is looking to close strong.
5-star Linkon Cure
Let's start with the ones you probably already heard about. After a visit, Oregon is heavily trending to flip Cure from Kansas State. I'm sure Kansas State is still recruiting him, but at this point, all signs point to Oregon.
4-star Gavin Nix
In my article "Predicting Oregon's 2025 recruiting class," I said that Oregon had circled back on Nix. Well, just yesterday, Steve Wiltfong logged an RPM for him to flip to the ducks. We seem to be getting more clarity on this linebacker class.
4-star Elijah Melendez
This one is starting to shape up well for the ducks. I don't think it's a done deal yet, but it's looking more and more like he will flip to Oregon.
4-star Kaleb Burns
Oregon is still in the game here, but as of now, Baylor and Oklahoma look like the top two. If Oregon lands Nix and Melendez, this one won't really sting.
4-star Andrew Olesh
With Cure likely flipping, landing Olesh seems very unlikely. He's a very good player, but the staff has Cure higher on their board.
5-star Jaron Keawe-Sagapolutele
This recruitment is getting very interesting. This is neck and neck right now between Cal and Oregon. If he goes to Cal, he would likely start right away, but if he comes to Oregon, he would have to sit for a year or two at least. I still get the vibe he signs with Oregon but don't get excited just yet.
5-star DL Jahkeem Stewart
As you've probably seen by now, USC is trending here. Oregon and Ohio State were his top two for a few months, but now it looks like it's LSU and USC at the top. I definitely wouldn't totally count out Oregon here, but it's not looking good.
4-star EDGE Tobi Haastrup
Haastrup was just in Eugene for his OV, and the ducks have a good chance at landing him. With Oregon likely missing out on Stewart, expect the ducks to shift some of his NIL to Haastrup. USC, Michigan, and Missouri are others in contention.
5-star DJ Pickett
Not much has changed here. Unless something drastically changes, expect him to sign with LSU.
5-star Na'eem Offord
I know he has gotten numerous crystal balls to flip to Auburn, but Oregon is very much still in this one. I do think Auburn is the more likely landing spot right now, but Oregon still has a decent chance to pull this off. Keep an eye on this one.
