Following the late class of 2022 addition of five-star offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr., the Oregon Ducks went months with an additional offensive line pledge.

But that has changed in a hurry. 

One week after securing the commitment of Bryce Boulton, Dan Lanning's program secured another big man up front.

On Mater Dei High School's Senior Night, three-star Lipe Moala announced his commitment to Oregon over Utah, Washington and others.

The 6-foot-6, 330-pound interior offensive lineman has skyrocketed up big boards with a stellar senior campaign.

Moala visited Oregon in September and came away impressed, according to 247Sports.

“I had a great trip to Oregon and liked it there a lot,” he told the site. “The coaches and fans were great with me, very welcoming and made me feel like home out there.

“Coach Lanning was actually the coach who offered me. We had a meeting a couple of hours before the game and he told me they wanted to offer me a scholarship and that was great.”

Oregon may not be done.

The Ducks are also strong contenders to land Iapani Laloulu, an Under Armour All-American offensive guard who is set to decide between Arizona and Oregon in the coming days or weeks.
