Jalen Lott “Leaning” To Oregon

Jalen Lott spoke about Oregon and if he is leaning towards committing to the Ducks. 

“I’m definitely leaning towards them more than most schools right now,” Lott said. “Being able to feel wanted by the whole coaching staff is important to me and then showing me interest makes me want to commit and become a Duck.”

The Ducks recently hired Ross Douglas to be their wide receivers coach after the departure of Junior Adams, who took the wide receiver coach job with the Dallas Cowboys. Lott seems to be a fan of Douglass. 

“He (Douglass) brings a lot of energy to the table,” Lott said. “I really like the coaching staff over there. Obviously Coach Lanning and Coach Ross the new receivers coach, me and him have a good relationship.”

Ross values relationships, and that’s a big reason for Oregon being at the top of his list. 

“Building relationships like that is important to me,” Lott said. “Their energy and the way they go about their business and I think they add a little fun to it…I feel like it’s definitely a brotherhood up there.”
