Press Release: Top Hawai’i Quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele Commits to Oregon Ducks
Eugene, OR – In a surprising turn of events, four-star quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele has officially flipped his commitment from Cal to the Oregon Ducks, a move that bolsters Oregon’s recruiting efforts as the early signing period kicks off. Sagapolutele, who stands 6-foot-2 and hails from Ewa Beach, Hawai’i, is recognized as the top prospect in his home state and ranks as ESPN’s No. 18 pocket passer for the class of 2025.
After initially committing to Cal earlier this year, Sagapolutele attracted attention from prominent programs including Oregon and Georgia. His impressive performance at the Elite 11 Finals in June and his record-setting high school career, which culminated in him becoming Hawai’i’s all-time passing leader with 10,563 yards, further enhanced his profile.
The pivotal moment came during an October visit to Oregon, where Sagapolutele was drawn to the program’s coaching staff and its developmental approach. "Just watching them with the QBs and seeing how they prepare was great," he remarked of the experience. This commitment adds to Oregon’s quarterback roster, now featuring both Sagapolutele and four-star Akili Smith Jr.
Oregon’s recruiting class is shaping up to be formidable, with Sagapolutele joining top talents like wide receiver Dakorien Moore and running backs Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill. With a strong emphasis on development and excellence, the Ducks are poised for an impactful 2025 season.
Sagapolutele’s decision is a testament to Oregon’s growing national prominence and its commitment to cultivating talent, solidifying the Ducks’ position as a powerhouse in college football recruiting.
