Oregon Football Recruiting Visitor List: Week of March 13
In this story:
The Oregon Ducks begin spring football practice on Thursday.
With players and coaches returning to the practice fields at the Hatfield-Dowlin Complex, it seems like the perfect time to host recruits for on-campus visits in Eugene.
After a quiet start to the month, Dan Lanning and his coaching staff are attacking the recruiting trail and are set to host a number of big names over the course of the week for visits.
Here's a look at players that are expected to make their way to Eugene over the course of the week.
Transfer WR Gary Bryant Jr. (Corona, CA)
Bryant is probably the biggest name that is set to be in Eugene this week. The USC WR transfer had the Ducks as one of his finalists coming out of high school and has already taken visits to Arizona and Miami.
Aside from Oregon it looks like he'll visit Texas A&M this month before making a final decision. Receiver doesn't feel like as big of a need now as it has at other points this offseason, but I still think he'd be a great addition.
2024 EDGE Jaxson Jones (Yuma, AZ)
Jones committed to Oregon last month and has been locked in with the Ducks. A return trip should help show him why he chose the Ducks and he'll likely help the staff with their pursuit of other top recruits.
2024 OT Fox Crader (Vancouver, WA)
One of Oregon's top commits in the 2024 class, Crader has seen his stock take off on the recruiting trail this spring. A lot of people think his visits have something to do with Klemm heading to the NFL, but he told me that's not the case.
He was already planning to get out to other schools to make sure Oregon is where he wants to be. Either way, this weekend gives him the chance to meet new offensive line coach A'lique Terry and some of the new faces on staff which is a plus.

2024 S Aaron Flowers (Forney, TX)
The four-star defensive back out of the Lone Star State placed Oregon in his top ten earlier this month and promptly set up a visit to Eugene. He was in Arkansas over the weekend and landed an offer from the Razorbacks as well as from Arizona State within the last week.
2024 LB Kamar Mothudi (Valley Village, CA)
Mothudi is a top linebacker target for the Ducks and has seen some big offers come in lately. He gets to meet new linebackers coach Brian Michalowski and I think the Ducks lead here, so a chance to possibly create some separation.
2024 CB Ify Obidegwu (Baltimore, MD)
Oregon finds themselves in Obidegwu's top seven schools along with the likes of USC, Tennessee, Ohio State and in-state Maryland.
He was on campus in January and a return trip is a sign that this recruitment is trending in the right direction. Maybe the staff tries to get him around Daymon David, an Oregon safety that also hails from the Baltimore area.

2024 OT Blake Frazier (Austin, TX)
Frazier is one of the top tackles in Texas and heads to Eugene following a recent trip to LSU. He has additional trips set to Texas and Michigan this month, but I believe this is his first trip to Oregon, so it's a chance for the Ducks to show him he's a priority.
2024 OT Bennett Warren (Sugarland, TX)
Warren is another massive offensive lineman the Ducks are pursuing in 2024 behind A'lique Terry. He visited Oklahoma earlier this month and Oregon should have a good shot here given their strong presence in the state of Texas, especially in the 2023 class and with members of the coaching and recruiting staff.
2024 S Jaylen McClain (West Orange, NJ)
McClain is one of the top safeties nationally and the Ducks are really putting themselves in a great spot here.
He's one of their top targets at safety and fortunately for them the interest is clearly mutual after landing in his top ten. Oregon hasn't hit New Jersey very hard in year's past but this staff is determined to go wherever the top talent is.

2024 RB Da'Jaun Riggs (Washington, D.C.)
Riggs is a top player in the DMV area and arguably the top back. He's coming off recent trips to Rutgers and Maryland ahead of being in town for Oregon spring practice.
He attends the same school where Oregon found 2023 cornerback signee Colin Gill.
2024 CB Bryce West (Cleveland, OH)
West is one of the top-rated cornerbacks in the 2024 class. He's seen some new offers in the new year from Florida, Oklahoma and Texas A&M. Ohio State has the momentum here but maybe the Ducks can shake things up with a strong visit.
2024 TE Jayden Fortier (Tualatin, OR)
Fortier is one of the top players in the state but has yet to land an offer from the Ducks. He holds three offers from Arizona State, Nevada and Colorado State.
At 6'5", 220 pounds he's got the size to play at the college level and given that Tualatin is one of the best programs in Oregon it wouldn't be a surprise to see his recruitment pick up steam.
2024 K Gage Hurych (West Linn, OR)
Hurych is a top-rated kicker in the 2024 class and with Camden Lewis entering his last season kicker and special teams overall needs to be a priority.
2025 OT Maki Stewart (Mission Hills, CA)
Stewart is an up-and-coming offensive lineman out of Southern California. At 6'6", 290 pounds he holds eight reported offers early on including Utah, BYU and South Carolina.
2025 WR Dallas Wilson (Tampa, FL)
Wilson committed to Oregon sight unseen and a trip to Eugene will be a good opportunity for the staff to continue building their relationship with him. Commits often serve as the best peer recruiters so that's an added bonus.
