What 5-Star Recruit Dakota Guerrant Said On Pat McAfee Show

"I've got my senior year, and then I'm gonna early enroll, and then I'll be there in January. I'm trying to ball immediately. I'm trying to get on the field," Guerrant said on the Pat McAfee Show.

Guerrant is clearly in business mode as he already plans on getting to Eugene as quickly as possible as an early enrollee. The Ducks could still be playing in the 2026-27 College Football Playoff in January.

Why did he chose Oregon over the Michigan Wolverines?

"(Oregon) was really always my dream school, growing up. When they started recruiting me, it felt like family from the start. How they are producing with their receivers - I have seen myself there from the start," Guerrant

The No. 8-ranked wide receiver in the class Guerrant took visits to Oregon and his home-state team Michigan, per On3, and the Big Ten foes battled as emerging favorites in his recruitment. Michigan surely had the proximity advantage as he plays high school football at Harper Woods in Michigan, just 49 miles from the Wolverines. However, Guerrant ultimately chose the Ducks.

Oregon currently has one of the most electric wide receiver rooms in the nation, and now have two receiver commits in the class of 2027 with Guerrant and three-star receiver Malachi Garlington, from Happy Valley, Oregon.

Guerrant was one of the most coveted recruits in the country, with many players making their pitches to join them at top schools. Oregon Ducks four-star quarterback commit Will Mencl made his pitch as well.

In a video posted by 247Sports, Mencl named Guerrant as a player he hopes commits to Oregon and coach Dan Lanning.

Guerrant is Oregon's 18th commit in a class that ranks No. 6 in the nation and No. 1 in the Big Ten, passing the No. 2 USC Trojans and No. 3 UCLA Bruins on 247Sports. The Ducks have two five star commits with Guerrant and EDGE Rashad Streets, who just recently earned his five-star status.
