Oregon Ducks Football Recruitment: Key Targets Revealed
In the latest episode of "Wiltfong Whiparound," ON3 Sports’ recruiting insider Steve Wiltfong brought crucial updates regarding top Oregon football prospects.
Jackson Cantwell, a five-star offensive tackle from Missouri, is considered the nation’s best at his position and will make an official visit to Oregon this weekend before his commitment on April 30. While Cantwell is reportedly leaning towards Miami—coached by former Oregon head coach Mario Cristobal—he shares a strong bond with Oregon’s head coach, Dan Lanning, who might sway his decision.
Another top prospect, Elbert Hill IV, a highly-rated cornerback from Ohio, has expressed a long-standing interest in Oregon, aligning him with head coach Lanning’s vision and strategy. Hill is the highest-rated recruit in his state and Oregon has been consistently in the conversation for his commitment.
Kayden Dixon-Wyatt, a standout wide receiver from Mater Dei High School in California, has been a focal point in a competitive recruitment battle among Oregon, USC, and Ohio State. Despite coaching changes within Oregon’s program, new receivers coach Ross Douglas has established a solid rapport with Dixon-Wyatt, which may bolster the Ducks’ chances.
As crucial players in this recruitment cycle, Cantwell, Hill, and Dixon-Wyatt have the potential to shape Oregon’s recruiting class ranking significantly. Cantwell’s decision, in particular, is expected to have a "domino effect" on other recruits, including five-star quarterback Jared Curtis, who is set to announce his commitment on May 5.
