Five-star offensive lineman Ismael Camara confirmed with a repost on X that he will be taking an official visit to Oregon later this summer during the weekend of June 19. A number of visitors will be in Eugene that weekend, including four-star cornerback Donte Wright Jr. and four-star wide receiver Julian Caldwell.

A product of Gilmer (TX), Camara comes from a small town of about 5,000 people in east Texas but will now making the long trip up to Eugene to see what the Ducks have in store for him.

Despite this small-town prowess, Camara is the No. 5 overall player in the state and the No. 3 offensive lineman in the 2027 class, per 247Sports' Composite rankings.

This ranking is certainly impressive when considering that Camara is originally from France and is still relatively new to the game of football. Already displaying massive potential, it's intriguing to imagine what kind of player he could eventually become after a few more years of development.

According to Gabe Brooks of 247Sports, Camara has the ability to play on either the offensive or defensive line in college. Regardless of position, scouts clearly feel that he can eventually play at the next level as well.

"Viewed as a legitimate multi-positional prospect who transcends specific position labels," Brooks wrote. "Could play tackle, guard, or even D-lineman at the high-major level, and owns traits that suggest long-term pro potential, particularly as a tone-setting guard or massive tackle."

If the Ducks can land Camara in the coming months, he would immediately become Oregon's top commit in the 2027 class.

Oregon has already secured commitments from players like four-star edge rusher Cameron Pritchett along with others like three-star offensive tackles Avery Michael and Drew Fielder, three-star linebacker Sam Ngata and three-star running back CaDarius McMiller.

The list will certainly continue to grow as the Ducks and head coach Dan Lanning stay busy on the recruiting trail this offseason.
