Latest intel on numerous 2025 Oregon targets
RECRUITING FOOTBALL
10/30/20242 min read
Signing day is rapidly approaching and Oregon is poised to make some noise. Here is the latest on a number of Oregon's remaining targets.
Jahkeem Stewart
Since Stewarts visit to Oregon, the buzz has only gotten stronger. He has a return visit to Oregon for November 23rd and then he will make it to Ohio State on the 30th. Ohio State is Oregon's main competition but do not rule out LSU and USC just yet.
Jaron Keawe Sagapolutele
Oregon is in the best position to land Jaron. He is not a lock, but Oregon has done a phenomenal job with him. Cal has a real shot to keep him due to the playing time there, and Georgia can never be counted out. I love the way this is trending at the moment.
Noah Mikhail
Time is running out with Mikhail. I'd give Oregon less than a 10% chance to pull this flip off at this time. Oregon hasn't really generated much buzz since he committed to A&M but he did say he could make it back to Eugene later this season. If he ends up back on campus, we will reevaluate this recruitment, but right now it looks like a long shot.
Vander Ploog
Oregon is heavily trending with Ploog but a flip does not seem imminent. He could pull the trigger any minute now, but don't be shocked if this plays out a little longer.
Kaleb Burns
Oregon is still generating lots of buzz in this one. Baylor is still fighting and will likely get him back on campus again, but this one seems like it's just a matter of time.
Hayden Lowe
Similar to Mikhail, time is running out. He told me he was planning to make it back to Eugene at some point this season, but it's sounding less and less likely. USC is having an underwhelming season so it wouldn't be a total shock to see him flip, but he needs to make it back to campus for it to happen.
Na'eem Offord
Oregon is still in the thick of it for Offord but Ohio State is feeling good about their chances. Auburn seems to be fading a bit but don't totally count them out. Oregon still has a real shot to flip him but some of the buzz has died down after his most recent visit to Oregon.
Andrew Olesh
His most recent visit to Oregon was a big one. The feeling is that Penn State and Oregon are the two schools most likely to sign him. That's a big development considering he is committed to Michigan. Unless he makes it back for an OV before signing day, I don't think Oregon will end up being the choice despite gaining some buzz. Michigan and Penn State are slated to get another visit from him, and Oregon will have to overcome a lot if they don't get him back.
Linkon Cure
Cure is expected back on campus for the Maryland game and that visit will be massive. Cure visits Kansas State for just about every home game so he's obviously loving Kansas State. But the opportunity to play for Oregon might be too good to pass up. Oregon has a decent shot to flip him but it would not surprise me if he sticks with KSU. His visit in two weeks will be very telling of where things stand.
