Oregon looks like they have another flurry coming on the recruiting before fall football camp starts.<\/p>\n
Dan Lanning and his staff have Rivals No. 9 ranked recruiting class<\/a> to date with a fourth-straight top five haul very much in striking distance.<\/p>\n Rivals has the latest.<\/p>\n Recapping a big official visit weekend in Eugene<\/p>\n Lanning and his staff had several top targets on campus over the weekend and the returns are coming in strong.<\/p>\n One of the headliners was top linebacker target in Ohio four-star Brayton Feister<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat continues to excite me about playing for Coach Lanning is making history with a great coach,\u201d Feister said. \u201cThat opportunity alone is rare and I have the chance to be a part of it!\u201d<\/p>\n Feister is also strongly considering Cal and Georgia. He believes playing for this Oregon staff could bring the best out of him.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019s due to the culture they\u2019ve built out there,\u201d Feister said of all the success. \u201cThe team camaraderie they\u2019ve established and everyone is like-minded and has the same goals!\u201d<\/p>\n Glassboro (NJ) High five-star Xavier Sabb<\/a> is closing in on his final decision and Oregon has been trending for a while. He took his official over the weekend.<\/p>\n \u201cCoach Lanning offered me when I was in eighth grade,\u201d Sabb said. \u201cThey treated me first class, National Championship mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n Oregon has pulled away in the recruitment of four-star tight end Anthony Cartwright III<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Ducks are also emerging as the one to beat for offensive lineman Lex Mailangi. The Rivals Prediction Machine already says as much.<\/p>\n Oregon looks like the biggest challenger to Auburn for the nation\u2019s No. 3 athlete Tae Walden Jr.<\/a><\/p>\n There is something about Oregon regarding four-star defensive lineman Brayden Parks<\/a>. He has the Ducks in his final two with Notre Dame and the Irish are certainly being pushed here by the Big Ten powerhouse.<\/p>\n \u201cGreat weekend!\u201d Parks said. \u201cThe photo shoot and the tour of the new indoor was awesome. The staff really worked hard to provide information in regards to a student-football athlete.\u201d<\/p>\n New prediction in favor of Oregon<\/p>\n Now that official visits are in the books for the nation\u2019s No. 5 cornerback Hayden Stepp<\/a>, Oregon continues to look like the one to beat for the Las Vegas (Nev.) Bishop Gorman standout. He said the Ducks had the \u201cslight edge\u201d after his most recent trip and I\u2019ve now logged a prediction to reflect that.<\/p>\n Alabama and Cal are two others Stepp has been strongly considering.<\/p>\n \u201cMy biggest takeaway from my Oregon football visit was how intentional Coach Lanning was in building relationships with the recruits,\u201d Stepp said after his OV a couple weekends ago. \u201cHe made himself accessible to all of us, connected with us personally, and made it clear that we are a priority in his vision for the program.<\/p>\n \u201cI also appreciated hearing him share his vision for the future of Oregon football. You can tell he is fully invested in the program and committed to building something special. His passion, leadership, and belief in the direction of the team really stood out to me and made a strong impression.<\/p>\n \u201cAnother highlight of the visit was the photo shoot experience. It was a lot of fun and gave me a chance to see what it would be like to represent Oregon as a student-athlete. Overall, the visit made me feel welcomed and gave me a great sense of the culture around the program. Being able to spend time with the coaches, staff, and other recruits showed me how close-knit the Oregon family is and reinforced why Oregon is such an attractive place to play and develop both on and off the field.\u201d<\/p>\n Alabama will keep pushing for Stepp, the foot has been on the gas there. We don\u2019t sleep on Cal making a push as well.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t sleep on Oregon for Rivals300\u2019s No. 2 athlete Bode Sparrow<\/p>\n Kaysville (Utah) Davis\u2019s standout Bode Sparrow<\/a> has been trending Oklahoma on the Rivals Prediction Machine. However there some that believe BYU and Oregon are now in better position.<\/p>\n Sparrow has spent a lot of time around Oregon and gave his recent official visit high marks.<\/p>\n \u201cOregon was awesome and visit was really great for me,\u201d Sparrow said. \u201cI think I\u2019ve became way closer and have a bigger vision for me fitting into their program after this visit. It was great to be able to spend such good time with all the coaches staff and players.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cCoach Lanning is an amazing coach and a guy I want to give my all for. He does an amazing job with that program. They have really made me a big priority for them and I feel the love. They have a great vision for me and something I can buy into and see myself thriving in.\u201d<\/p>\n More Ducks notes<\/p>\n + Oregon is no longer pushing for the nation\u2019s No. 3 running back Landen Williams-Callis<\/a>.<\/p>\n + The Ducks are still battling for prized offensive line target Caden Moss<\/a>.<\/p>\n + Oregon would also love to add four-star receiver Blake Wong<\/a>.<\/p>\n Like this story0Share article<\/p>\n
